This is a project page that bundles several feature wiki pages which belong to a larger development activity for the ILIAS component Metadata.

1 Aim of Project

The aim of this project is to rollout the metadata and taxonomy service to all possible objects within a category. LOM Metadata (and thus taxonomies) cannot be assigned for all object types yet. The goal is to make all (standard ILIAS) objects within a category filterable using taxonomies.

Objects that doesn't allow metadata and taxonomy assignments at all:

study programme
Forum
Chat
bibliography
learning sequence
content page (Metadata with ILIAS 9)
Blog (Metadata with ILIAS10)
data collection (Metadata with ILIAS10)
media cast (Metadata with ILIAS10)
media pool (Metadata with ILIAS10)
