Architecture Oriented towards the management of Learning Objects Repositories (LOR@)

This paper describes an architecture oriented towards the usage of Learning Objects Repositories (LOR@). LOR@ are logically organized through different layers constituted by classes, services, components and diagrams which are specified through a Unified Modeling Language (UML). The design is highly flexible, based on a data distributed model and oriented towards the management of different standards. It can be reused freely and enriched by institutions or research groups which develop applications for organizing and managing learning objects repositories.
