Development of learning objects repositories by the reutilization of metadata of a digital collection: from Dublin Core to IMS

Reutilization, in e-learning context, leads immediately to the concept of learning object and it is always associated with the objects reutilization among platforms or among educational systems, nevertheless digital objects allows the reutilization both of the resources and its metadata, even with systems not directly linked with education but useful as resources to support learning. Due to languages and databases with open technologies and the use of metadata standards this interchange is possible. In this document is exposed the experience of sharing a collection of digital objects that uses Dublin Core metadata standard towards a library of learning resources using IMS metadata standard.
