LRMI

The Learning Resource Metadata Initiative is a project co-led by the Association of Educational Publishers and Creative Commons to build a common metadata vocabulary for educational resources.

Phase 1: Specification Development

The LRMI Specification was developed with a strong Technical Working Group with copious amounts of community feedback on our public LRMI mailing list. See below for announcements made during the development phase.

Phase 2: Implementation

Creative Commons is funded to work with up to 10 OER platforms and registries to implement LRMI. Please refer to the LRMI Implementation page for more information.
