Statement of scope
ISO/IEC 19778
ISO/IEC 19778 is applicable to collaborative technologies used to support communication among learners, instructors and otherparticipants. The implementation and communicative use of these technologies entails the creation of information related toparticipant groups, and to the collaborativeenvironments, functions and tools that are set up for, and used by, these groups. This part of ISO/IEC 19778 - together with its subsequent parts - defines Data Models that enable the portability and reuse of this data in integrated form, and allowData Model instantiations to be interchanged, stored, retrieved, reused or analysed by a variety of systems.
NOTE 1 A typical case of reusing a particular collaborative workplace Data Model instantiation (and its interlinkedcollaborative environment and collaborative group Data Model instantiations) is the automated set-up of newcollaborative workplaces by using the specifications in the Data Model instantiations as templates.
NOTE 2 The reason for providing the specification for acollaborative workplace using several Data Modelsand their instantiations is to provide flexibility in the further development of these standards in future editions. By providing optional references to potential further specifications or standards, this approach goes far beyond the parts of ISO/IEC 19778 and the limited number of information elements provided by them.
This part of ISO/IEC 19778
This part of ISO/IEC 19778 specifies a table-based approach for defining Data Models. This Data Modelspecification is used for specifying the collaborative workplace Data Model. The same Data Model specification is also used in ISO/IEC 19778-2 and ISO/IEC 19778-3 to define the related components of the collaborative environment(ISO/IEC 19778-2) and the collaborative group (ISO/IEC 19778-3) in separate Data Models.
NOTE 1 This Data Model specification is also used in ISO/IEC 19780.
The collaborative workplace Data Model specifies theData Model Elements and their interrelationships that enable the creation of collaborative workplace Data Model instantiations.
Any conforming collaborative workplace Data Model instantiation describes or specifies a particularcollaborative workplace with which it is associated.
NOTE 2 How the association of a particular collaborative workplace Data Model instantiation and a particularcollaborative workplace is implemented is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 19778 (i.e. is dependent on the implementation of the used collaboration system).
Any conforming collaborative workplace Data Model instantiation
• references Data Model instantiations for both a particular collaborative environment and a particularcollaborative group;
• provides its particular identifier that allows this Data Model instantiation to be referenced from other Data Model instantiations;
NOTE 3 The ISO/IEC 19778 Data Models and Data Model or Data Model Element instantiations are referenced by ISO/IEC 19780, which provides storage formats for captured communicative contributions, along with contextual data (relationship to other contributions, time sent, authorship, etc.).
• provides the life-span dates-and-times for the associatedcollaborative workplace;
• may provide a name and a textual description for its associated collaborative workplace, particularly for the purpose of full-text seach for collaborative workplace Data Model instantiations.
