Several authors have recently proposed to represent XML (eXtensible Markup Language) metadata by means of the widely used UML (Unified Modeling Language), which provides a more intuitive and expressive description, which can then be automatically mapped to XML schema. Following this trend, and considering the e-learning context a prototyped tool developed for this purpose is presented.ZusammenfassungVerschiedene Autoren schlugen in letzter Zeit vor, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) Metadata mit den Mittein der weithin genutzten UML (Unified Modeling Language) darzustellen, welche eine intuitivere und ausdrucksstärkere Beschreibung ermöglicht. Diese kann wiederum automatisch auf XML-Schema abgebildet werden. Diesem Trend folgend und den E-Learning-Kontext berücksichtigend, wird der Prototyp eines Tools vorgestellt, welches diesem Zweck dient.
