Content Package Components

A Content Package consists of the following components :

  • XML document - the Manifest
  • Controlling documents - allows the LMS to validate that the XML Manifest adheres to requirements defined by the controlling authority.
  • Resources - all of the files or resources that make up the content.

A Content Package can be compressed for delivery into a Package Interchange File (PIF). The PIF needs to be conformant to RFC 1951, DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3. This specification can be found at (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt).
