Enhancing Digital Repositories with Learning Object Metadata

The rapid growth of the World Wide Web in the past few years has led to a considerable increase of educational material that is available in electronic form. The increased amount of digital information renders the efficient search and retrieval of educational resources a more complex and difficult process. For this reason, it is of crucial importance the proper description and characterization of electronically available learning objects, using AbstrAct
