This lengthy and detailed report - the final report of a Flexible Learning study group formed last year - is one of the best and most comprehensive studies of learning objects and associated technologies available. In addition to an extensive reading list, the authors formed their opinions via a series of interviews and conferences attended throughout the course of last year. Even though presented as a lengthy PDF file, this is a must-read if you are involved in the field. My only regret on reading this report is that the authors didn't look forward enough: I would like to have seen some speculation about the likely future of LCMSs, content distribution networks, and the like. But this is a faint criticism of what I think all will agree is a first rate piece of work.
