Abstract

Efficient search and retrieval of science education resources available in web-based repositories, depends on their educational metadata. Although the IEEE LOM Standard is the commonly accepted way for describing educational resources with metadata, it is beyond its scope to directly support the description of educational resources with Science Education related metadata. Thus, in this paper we propose a Science Education Learning Objects Educational Metadata Application Profile that can be used for tagging science education resources and we present its application to a Science Education Learning Object Repository, namely, the OpenScienceResources Repository. © 2011 IEEE.
