Including metadata on a page

You can associate metadata with a page. 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, SCORM, or CourseMill 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, an external XML file containing metadata, or as name/value pairs using predefined IMS Metadata Data Elements following the IEEE LTSC LOM standard.

To include metadata on your page:

  1. Double-click the page graphic of the page you want to change in the Title Explorer. Alternatively, you can right-click the graphic and select Properties. The Properties ribbon is displayed.

  2. Click Metadata from the Add group. The Add/Modify Metadata window opens.

  3. Select Use Metadata and select one of the following metadata options:

    Input Custom Metadata

    Select this to display the Custom Metadata text field for you to directly enter custom metadata.

    External XMLFile Source

    Select this to import an external XML file containing metadata. Use the XML File field to specify the file. Click Edit to modify the file.

    IMS (IEEE LTSC LOM)

    Select this to 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.

  4. Publish this object’s metadata is checked by default so that the metadata is included in the published title. Clear this option if you do not want the metadata included in the published title.

  5. Click OK.
