Abandon Setting LOM of Courses/Groups/Weblinks via SOAP

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

With ILIAS 9, changes were made to the LOM that ILIAS object can carry, according to the newest version of the LOM standard (see Fully LOM-conformant Metadata). In ILIAS 10, export files of LOM will be changed to also reflect these changes.

Currently, when one adds or updates a Group, Course, or Weblink via SOAP, the xml-string used to do can also contain LOM. This is mostly used to set title and description of the objects, so the option to also set the many other fields in LOM is unnecessary complexity. The accepted formats for these xml-strings should be updated to not contain LOM anymore, but instead separate fields for title and description.

This change would also allow a better separation between the Metadata component and Course, Group, and Weblinks.
