Revisiting an Analysis of Agricultural Learning Repository Metadata: Preliminary Results

Agricultural learning repositories can provide new opportunities for sharing, searching, accessing and using learning resources. In order to facilitate the exchange of information between such repositories, the issue of metadata interoperability is crucial. In this paper, we present preliminary results of a revised analysis aiming at the review of implementations of metadata standards in agricultural learning repositories. The results of this study can be beneficial to the achievement of interoperability across agricultural learning repositories and useful for designers and developers in this application field.
