LibTec Library: translator cataloguing standards

Abstract

The educational needs of modern society and the development of Information Technologies and Communications, cause that many institutions incorporate all or part of distance education mode to their educational processes. This type of training has led to the emergence of different tools that support the management of educational resources, such as: Learning Object Repositories, Repositories of Educational Resources (Open and not Open), Institutional Repositories and Repositories Theme. One of the problems encountered is the difficulty of interpreting the diversity of existing metadata schemes (LOM, DublinCore, MODS, etc.) used in all kind of repositories. The objective of this paper is to present a Translator Cataloguing Standards library (LibTec) to promote the import and export of learning object in the repository RHODA. The theoretical concept of the library can be reuse in other systems, because of its generic character.
