Preface:

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC TR 12785-3" throughout.

At the time of publication, ISO/IEC TR 12785-3:2012 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA Group will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 12785 presents use cases and shows how they are satisfied by ISO/IEC 12785-1 which is derived from the IMS Global Learning Consortium (GLC) Content Packaging version 1.2 (v1.2).

Though not exhaustive, the range of use cases presented in this part of ISO/IEC 12785 illustrate how the most common issues in the creation, management, and playback of learning material can be addressed by the ISO/IEC 12785 series. The use cases were contributed by various implementers and users of the IMS Content Packaging and are based on years of practice.
