The metadata elements clustered under the Utilization group describe how a media item is best suited for a particular audience or age range in a learning or training setting. The media item thus becomes more than a file; it becomes a "learning object" that has an application within a specific learning context, with a degree of appropriateness and suitability for an audience. Some of the descriptors found under Utilitization are the components typically included in a "lesson plan" developed to teach a specific subject or topic, to a particular audience, with certain classroom or venue prescriptions and proscriptions. These metadata elements are partially based on the IMS Global Learning Consortium Meta-data Best Practice Guide for IEEE 1484.12.1-2002, Learning Object Metadata Standard: LOMV1.0 Base Schema + Extensions and the Public Broadcasting Metadata Dictionary Project (PBCore). In UMAP2, however, the number and extent of Utilization metadata elements has been reduced from the IEEE-LOM recommendations. The pedagogic descriptions are simply not used or referenced by educators looking for content to teach within their classrooms. Rather, educators search, evaluate and retrieve learning objects and media based on Utah's state core curriculum guidelines, subjects, courses, and objectives (that are identified in the content class "Subjects" under the metadata element usoe_k12_subject_areas." |

CONTENT FLAGS SUMMARY is a summary field based on a North Plains Telescope Functiona Rule. It reports if there is a type of user for whom a media item is intended or judged appropriate (or inappropriate) in terms of its intellectual content, aesthetic values, language, depictions, or presentation style. |
|
At least five standards for content flags are referenced in the umap_content_flags_defined summary field: USOE Content Warnings (Utah State Office of Education), FCC-TV Ratings, MPAA Ratings (Motion Picture Association of America), ESRB Ratings (games) (Entertainment Software Rating Board), COMMON SENSE MEDIA (CSM) Ratings (Family Friendly Reviews), RIAA Flag (music) (Recording Industry Association of America). An open metadata field for as yet undefined content flags. This summary field (using a Telescope Functional Rule) gathers the various identified ratings and combines them into a single statement, including the source of the ratings. FYI: IMDB refers to these ratings as "Certifications" and reports warnings according to standards from numerous countries. Reference any movie listing at: www.imdb.com |

util_content_flags_summary FCC-TV Ratings, MPAA Ratings (Motion Picture Association of America), ESRB Ratings (games) (Entertainment Software Rating Board), RIAA Flag (music) (Recording Industry Association of America) The functional rule detects for the presence of data within each ratings option and combines them into a single statement of one or more of the actual ratings. The data for each rating is selected from picklists of multiple values in a repeating field. So parentheses and other types of punctuation found within each rating is pre-populated by the population existing in the picklists. PUNCTUATION: If there are ratings drawn from more than one of the above fields, then each ratings string (ID+colon+space+actual ratings) should be separated by a PERIOD and TWO SPACES. For consistency, the final ratings string should end with a PERIOD and no space (but I suppose an extra space at the end doesn't break anything). EXAMPLE ENTRIES: USOE: Restricted: references are made to topics drawn from what would be considered sex education. FCC-TV: TV-PG (V)(L)(D). MPAA: PG-13. ESRB: T - Drug Reference; Suggestive Themes. FCC-TV: TV_MA (S)(L). MPAA: NC-17. ESRB: M - Sexual Themes; Mature Humor; Intense Violence . RIAA: Parental Advisory-Explicit Content. USOE: Restricted: references are made to topics drawn from what would be considered sex education. |
