>>
>>             *Background*
>>
>>             For more than a decade, DocBook has provided a structured
>>          markup
>>             vocabulary for hardware and software documentation. DocBook

>>          just technical
>>             documentation. The DocBook TC is engaged in evolving the
>>          suite of
>>             DocBook specifications. The community benefits from having
>>          a standard,
>>             open, interchangeable vocabulary in which to write
>>          structured content.
>>             DocBook has been, and will continue to be, designed to
>>          satisfy this
>>             requirement.
>>
>>             The OASIS DocBook SubCommittee for eLearning is chartered to
>>             develop and
>>             maintain official variants of DocBook in support of the
>>          eLearning
>>             industry. Specifically, the subcommittee will focus on
>>          schema and
>>             stylesheet customizations to support:
>>
>>             1. Develop and design a DocBook-based method for creating
>>          reusable
>>             learning objects, and the learning content types needed to
>>          support
>>             them.
>>             Some specifics of the design for learning content include:
>>
>>               1. learning types, including assessments and exercises
>>
>>               2. a content assembly for structuring, sequencing and
>>          managing the
>>             learning types as reusable learning objects
>>
>>               3. linking and relationships between learning objects
>>
>>               4. interactions
>>
>>             2. Establish guidelines that promote best practices for
>>          applying
>>             DocBook
>>             markup to learning content
>>
>>             *Scope of Work*
>>

>>             DocBook standard as appropriate. The scope of this DocBook

>>             is eLearning content. Broadly, this includes online learning,
>>             instructor-led training and other related educational
