| Learning Object Referatory |
Repository managing and storing only metadata records |
| Learning Object Repository |
Repository managing and storing both metadata records and the LO’s physical file |
| Metadata |
Metadata is information about an object, be it physical or digital. As the number of objects grows exponentially and our needs for learning expand equally dramatically, the lack of information or metadata about objects places a critical and fundamental constraint on our ability to discover, manage, and use objects. |
