Gives data elements for the description of persons (individual or organization) that are related to the description of a learning resource.

1.1 Scope of MLR International Standard

The primary purpose of this International Standard 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.

This International Standard provides data elements for the description of learning resources and resources directly related to learning resources.

This International Standard provides principles, rules and structures for the specification of the description of a learning resource; it identifies and specifies the attributes of a data element, as well as the rules governing their use. The key principles stated in ISO/IEC19788-1 are informed by a user requirements-driven context with the aim of supporting multilingual and cultural adaptability requirements from a global perspective.

ISO/IEC19788-1 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/IEC19788.

1.2 Scope of this Partof ISO/IEC19788 — Data elements for persons

This Partof ISO/IEC19788 provides data elements for the description of persons (individual or organization) that are related to the description of a learning resource.

These elements can later be combined with other descriptive elements from other type 1 parts of ISO/IEC19788 or other standards to provide the description of a learning resource and of related entities needed for that description.

1.3 Exclusions

Excluded from the scope of this Partof ISO/IEC19788 are descriptive elements of a person as a learning resource. The provision of descriptive elements of a person as a learning resource might be addressed in another (future) Partof ISO/IEC19788.
