•The Checklist assumes a
simple data model:
–There
exist distinct, identifiable pieces of digital content, or items, that can be searched for, collected, and imported for instructional purposes.
–Items
can be found by searching collections, groupings of
items that can be addressed and queried through a common interface or set of services.
–Items,
and possibly collections as well, have metadata associated with them,
information that describes them and
otherwise aids in their use and management.
