Abstract: E-Learning is increasingly influencing university and workplace education in Europe. The EU/IST FP6 Network of Excellence PROLEARN is focusing on these issues, advancing the state of the art in this area. Some of PROLEARN's key issues are the production, deployment, exchange, and brokerage of learning resources as well as their usage for professional training in SMEs and larger companies. Furthermore, the project addresses the needs of companies from the learning as well as from the business perspective, e.g. including appropriate business process reference models for the introduction of e-learning systems and scenarios, embedding them into the complete IT environment of an enterprises an the respective working environments of an employee. In this paper, we will focus on the issues of metadata for learning resources, its use in brokerage systems and the relation to respective business processes in enterprises, thus basically relating issues of knowledge management to technology-enhanced learning in commercial scenarios.
