From the press release: "Cetis has been commissioned by Creative Commons to help manage the third phase of the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI). The project, which builds on the work of Schema.org, aims to support the discovery of relevant education resources on the web." I'm not sure how exactly Creative Commons ended up doing learning resource metadata (I remember the heady days of a few years ago when it was done by organizations like IMS and ADL; now LRMI is co-led by Creative Commons and the Association of Educational Publishers (AEP)). This is about the most informal press release I've ever read; the major players from CETIS are introduced as "Phil and Lorna" (no last names anywhere, but I assume they mean Phil Barker and Lorna Campbell). The press release was posted by a "christina" (no last name and not even a capital 'C') who is probably Christina Smart. I am meanwhile wondering about the comfortable relationship between Creative Commons and a publishers' association - but maybe that's just me.
