Full title and description
Information technology — Learning, education and training — Metadata for learning resources — Part 9: Data elements for persons. This part of ISO/IEC 19788 specifies data elements to describe persons (individuals or organisations) related to learning resources; elements are designed to be combined with other MLR parts or metadata standards to describe learning resources and related entities.
Abstract
ISO/IEC 19788-9:2015 defines the set of data element specifications for describing persons and organisations associated with learning resources (for example authors, contributors, contacts). It provides element names, definitions, attributes (including repeatability and obligations), and supporting materials such as vocabularies, language equivalents and XML names to enable interoperable exchange of person-related metadata for learning resources.
General information
- Status: Published (International Standard under systematic review).
- Publication date: 2015-11 (published November 2015).
- Publisher: ISO/IEC (prepared under ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36).
- ICS / categories: 03.100.30; 35.240.90.
- Edition / version: Edition 1 (2015).
- Number of pages: 23 pages (English edition).
Scope
Specifies data element specifications (DES) for persons and organisations that are related to the description of learning resources. The standard defines element names, definitions, optionality/repeatability, controlled vocabularies and application rules, plus supporting annexes (MLR vocabularies, language equivalents, XML names, DES diagram and a crosswalk to earlier MLR representations) to permit consistent creation, storage and exchange of person-related metadata for learning resources.
Key topics and requirements
- Data element specifications for persons and organisations (names, identifiers, roles, affiliations, contact details and related attributes).
- Definition of resource classes and predefined Data Element Group Specifications (DEGS) for grouping person-related elements.
- Predefined rule sets governing optionality, repeatability and usage constraints for person elements.
- Normative MLR vocabularies and language equivalents (English, French, Russian) to support multilingual descriptions.
- XML name mappings and a DES diagram to support technical implementations and data exchange.
- Crosswalk guidance to map prior MLR/LOM constructs to the MLR person elements for migration and interoperability.
Typical use and users
Used by metadata specialists, LMS and content platform implementers, digital libraries, publishers, institutional repositories and standards architects to describe contributors, creators, contacts and other person/organisation entities associated with learning resources; also used when designing application profiles, XML schemas or APIs for interoperable learning resource metadata exchange.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO/IEC 19788-9:2015 is Part 9 of the MLR (Metadata for Learning Resources) series; it specifies data elements for describing persons and organisations related to learning resources (e.g., authors, contributors, contacts).
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers data element specifications (names, definitions, obligations, repeatability), predefined rule sets, resource classes, Data Element Group Specifications (DEGS), normative vocabularies and language equivalents, XML name mappings, a DES diagram and a crosswalk to prior MLR constructs to enable consistent person-related metadata for learning resources.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Metadata implementers, LMS/platform developers, libraries, repository managers, educational publishers and standards architects use it to model and exchange person/organisation metadata associated with learning resources.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO/IEC 19788-9:2015 was published in November 2015 and is listed as published and subject to periodic systematic review; users should check the ISO catalogue for any later revisions or confirmations. (This record was published in 2015 — verify current status with the standards catalogue if needed.)
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO/IEC 19788 multi-part standard (MLR). Other parts include the framework (Part 1, updated edition available) and additional parts such as Part 8 (MLR record elements) and Part 11 (migration from LOM to MLR).
