Resource Content Package Manifest

The Resource Content Package is primarily used to transfer resources, that do not have any organizational structure or relationship with one another, between systems. For example, a Resource Content Package might be used to transfer a set of independent resources from a Repository to a Content Authoring Tool. The imsmanifest.xml file will not have a defined <organizations> element because the Resource Content Package does not have an organizational structure. For this reason, the element is required to be empty. This indicates to systems processing the Resource Content Package that the Content Package has no defined organization or structure for the given set of resources. LMSs typically need a Content Package with a Manifest that contains an organizational structure for the associated resources; therefore a Resource Content Package may not be processed by LMS.

Use: Provides a collection of resources in a common medium for exchange.

Important Notes: The user should not expect this Content Package to run in a LMS.
