IMS VDEX authoring tool
An Open Source IMS VDEX authoring tool is now available.
The core functionality of the tool is the authoring of VDEX encoded vocabularies, which should make the creation and re-use of application profiles (adaptations of a standard for a particular community's needs) quite a bit easier. 'Reload+VDEX' also allows authors and cataloguers of learning objects to explore VDEX encoded vocabularies for inclusion in the metadata of the object.The browsing functionality represents quite an improvement to the learning object workflow: application profile specific vocabularies can simplify the huge amount of choices the LOM represents, and the structure and 'human friendly' descriptions that are supported by IMS VDEX make it easier to work with unfamiliar vocabularies.
