You provided a nice link to unofficial topic map standards, thank you. Here's others: http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/tmlinks.html."; thanks for the link. Why is the topic map standard at http://www.topicmaps.org/standards/ an unofficial topic map standard? They talk about that it is ISO 13250 standard. You had drawn my attention to the ISO, thanks for that however the impression that they might have some standards is from their website: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=50772 where they write amongst others: "The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to specify metadata elements and their attributes for the description of learning resources. This includes the rules governing the identification of data elements and the specification of their attributes." since this thing costs 162 CHF i can't check what those guys are really doing there, however it would be strange to define metadata which is not for automated processing. In particular they write a little later: "ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011 is information-technology-neutral and defines a set of common approaches, i.e. methodologies and constructs, which apply to the development of the subsequent parts of ISO/IEC 19788." would they write this if ISO/IEC 19788 was information-technology-neutral as well? moreover there exists also a N2448 Summary of voting on ISOIEC NP 18343, Learning environment profile for automated contents which is password protected at the webpage: http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/open/jtc1sc36 but where the word AUTOMATED appears explicitly. but of course it would be nicer to have someone who knows explicitly what exactly they are having in mind there at ISO.
