Standards and guidelines to build a national resource

The document below provides guidelines and practices critical to developing, managing, and delivering digital resources online. It will act as a source of information for projects and services involved in the development of the Information Environment for learning, teaching and research. It will also provide a point of reference and information for the variety of stakeholders interested in the development of the Information Environment and for those interested in sharing or contributing content to it.

Adherence to standards plays an essential role in improving access to the information resources accessible online. Without the implementation of agreed approaches throughout the Information Environment, the aspiration of timely and usable networked information for use in education will not be realised.
