The AGLS (Australian Government Locator Service) Metadata Standard is a set of 19 descriptive elements which government departments and agencies can use to improve the visibility and accessibility of their services and information over the Internet. It has been mandated for use by Commonwealth Government agencies (see Better Services, Better Government: The Federal Government's e-Government Strategy).

The AQF is a unified system of national qualifications in schools, vocational education and training and higher education. Vetadata recommends the use of the AQF descriptors to define the educational level of resources.

The Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED) was developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for use in the collection, storage and dissemination of statistical and administrative data relating to educational activity undertaken in Australia. The development of the classification involved extensive consultation with relevant Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies, educational institutions and other stakeholders in data on education in Australia. In the VET sector this consultation included ANTA, DETYA and NCVER.

The Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED) was developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for use in the collection, storage and dissemination of statistical and administrative data relating to educational activity undertaken in Australia. The development of the classification involved extensive consultation with relevant Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies, educational institutions and other stakeholders in data on education in Australia. In the VET sector this consultation included ANTA, DETYA and NCVER.

ASCED consists of two classification schemes "Field of Education" and "Level of Education", both of these can be used at three levels of detail (called Broad, Narrow and Detailed). Level of Education is consistent with, but more detailed than, the AQF system of qualification levels.

The EdNA Metadata Standard is based on the internationally recognised Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) and is consistent with the Australian Government Locator Service (AGLS). The purpose of the EdNA Metadata Standard is to support interoperability across all sectors of education and training in Australia in the area of online resource discovery and management.

This scheme is part of the EdNA Metadata Standard and is a small controlled vocabulary for describing educational materials. It has the following values: Activity, Assessment, Course, Curriculum/Syllabus, Exemplar, Lesson Plan, Online Project, Training Package, Unit/module. Definitions are provided for each term.

The Vetadata Educational Use scheme was developed as part of the VET Metadata Application Profile (Vetadata). It is intended to provide a broad categorisation of the intended use of a resource in an education and training context.

FLAG is the VET body that provides strategic direction and support to the Australian Flexible Learning Framework. It provides advice on national issues related to the directions and priorities for flexible learning in VET, with particular reference to e-learning.

It is made up of senior vocational education and training (VET) personnel, including representatives from every state and territory.

This standard specifies the syntax and semantics of Learning Object Metadata, defined as the attributes required to fully/adequately describe a Learning Object. Learning Objects are defined here as any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning. The standard is IEEE publication 1484.12.1-2002.

The VET Learning Object Repository Network (LORN) is a network of organisations that contribute via agreed standards to enable the discovery and use of learning objects. LORN was established in 2004 through Australian Flexible Learning Framework funding.

The myfuture Industry Classification Scheme was developed by the myfuture website. A mapping is available from this scheme to ANZIC (Australian New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification).

The National Training Information Service (NTIS) allocates codes for courses, modules, training packages, qualifications, and units of competency.

Vetadata v 1.0 was endorsed by the Flexible Learning Advisory Group in May 2005 as the recommended Metadata Application Profile for VET educational resources.

Vetadata is based on IEEE LOM v1.0 and is intended to provide a stable reference for the VET system in Australia and to achieve interoperability and discovery of educational resources

It recommends a small mandatory minimum metadata set for resources in general, and a larger set for those developed as Learning Objects allowing for conformity with the SCORM Learning Object specifications.

The VOCED Thesaurus contains over 3000 terms related to vocational education and training, especially in the areas of research and policy. It is a valuable source of controlled terms for use as metadata, as well as enabling greater precision in indexing and searching.
