[Rath, Holger (empolis DA)]

Hi,

My colleagues at empolis UK did already=20
two "Topic maps for eLearning" projects.

- eLearning courses (maths, bio, geography)=20
for 14 years old kids

- general editorial framework for eLearning
content and meta data.

The second was more interesting as it mapped=20
the existing (do not reinvent the wheel - check=20
http://www.diffuse.org/eLearning.html for lots
of available eLearning meta data standards) eLearning=20
meta data standards SCORM and LOM to the topic map=20
paradigm.

Cheers,
--Holger
