I have observed in the past that our approach to learning objects should draw from Wittgenstein's theory of 'meaning as use'. I am not the only one thinking along these lines; this paper invites us to approach learning objectives from the perspective of another of Wittgenstein's theories, the idea of the 'language game'. This is a good introduction to the idea, drawing useful (and clear) parallels between the theory of langauge and the theory of learning objects. The little charts are most useful.
