Learning Object Metadata for Mediacast, Mediapool, and Blog

1 Initial Problem

Currently, not every type of object in ILIAS can carry LOM. Among the objects not supporting LOM at the moment are Mediacast, Mediapool, and Blog.

2 Conceptual Summary

Support for LOM is added to Mediacast, Mediapool, and Blog.

As a side effect, these objects will then also support Taxonomies better, since their 'Metadata' tab will always be shown.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

• Mediacast > Metadata 
• Mediapool > Metadata 
• Blog > Metadata

3.2 User Interface Details

The objects will have a tab 'Metadata' with subtab 'LOM', which will always be shown. Like for all other LOM-enabled objects, the subtab 'LOM' contains the quick edit form for the object's LOM, as well as a button leading to the full LOM editor (see Moving LOM Metadata Editor to Kitchensink for details).

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

No new UI concepts required.

3.4 Accessibility Implications

No known accessibility implications.

4 Technical Information

As for all other objects, the LOM fields general > title and general > description will automatically be set to the object's title and description and their respective languages (translations via Multilingualism excluded). No other LOM fields will be filled automatically.

The required infrastructure for this mechanism is already implemented in the Object service (see e.g. ilObject::createMetaData), and just has to be used in the Data Collection. For details, see here.

5 Privacy

No personal data is automatically stored in the LOM of Mediacasts, Mediapools, and Blogs. For information about what personal data can be entered manually into the LOM of an object, see the privacy information of MetaData.

6 Security

No foreseeable security implications.

Test Cases

Test cases completed at 15.08.2024 by Ahmed Elagamy

Test cases about LOM in TestRail can be reused to test this new feature, since it's not different than LOMs in other objects.
