As I was reading up on and getting a feel for eLearning standards I came across a rather good introduction to the subject. If anyone out there wants to get a first grip on these matters, or if you veterans want to reframe the big picture, you could visit
the CETIS homepage and check out the links in the "Welcome to CETIS" box and those under the "Background" headline in the left margin menu.
The main thing these brief texts want to teach us is the basic categorization of the organizations working in this the educational technology interoperability field into specification bodies (IMS), standards bodies (IEEE), and application profiling bodies (ADL-SCORM). You'll also find a presentation of what organizations are involved in what specific areas.
