IEEE 2881: Learning Metadata Terms (LMT) Empowers Learning in the AI Age

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-09-21 23:00:29

Introduction Learning Metadata Terms (LMT) is a standard that connects metadata terms in practice with the purpose of solving many use cases common to e-learning. While there are other metadata standards, they have been inadequate for keeping up with machine-readable data requirements, which modern AI needs to achieve significance. While data models attempt to be free of technical bindings, there are fundamental design decisions that relate to whether data is intended to be stored in a graph da

Dell 27 Plus 4K Review (S2725QS): The Monitor Almost Everyone Should Buy

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-09-24 18:00:00

At one time, having a 4K monitor felt like a luxury. Now, thanks to the power of modern computers and the dramatic price drop, 4K monitors are no longer unattainable upgrades. They're becoming the standard. The Dell 27 Plus 4K is the best example of this trend I've seen so far. It might not have all the bells and whistles of a Dell UltraSharp monitor, nor the mind-blowing image quality of the Dell 32 Plus OLED.
