Add/Modify Metadata

Metadata is data about data. It typically includes information such as a description of the object, the author, the date it was created, and so on. Search engines look within metadata for relevant information to the term that was searched. Within objects, the metadata will be published as standard XML metadata into the accompanying imsmanifest.xml file for any AICC, CourseMill, or SCORM published titles. Metadata added to objects within a title that is published strictly to HTML will be written directly to the resulting HTML pages containing the objects. The metadata can be specified as custom metadata or as name/value pairs using predefined IMS Metadata Data Elements following the IEEE LTSC LOM standard.

Metadata added to media within your Media Library will be carried over when the media object is added to a title.

Enable the Use metadata check box and specify the following information:

Input Custom Metadata	Select this to display the Custom Metadata text field for you to directly enter custom metadata.
IMS (IEEE LTSC LOM)	Select this display a pre-populated list of name value pairs for all the SCORM 1.2 required IMS Metadata data elements. Click the Add button to open the Metadata Data Element Entry window. Select a predefined data element from the Name combo box and specify a data element value from the Value edit/combo box. Select OK to accept the data element. Select from previously entered data elements from the Name/Value lists and click Edit or Remove to edit or remove the selected element.
Custom Metadata	Use this box to specify custom metadata.
