This paper discusses the concept of knowledge management as a concept closely linked to information and communication technology, information society and knowledge society. Capacity for social change are largely determined by our ability to locate, processing and use of relevant information, and information and knowledge based on them are important conditions for progressive social development and the welfare of society will increasingly depend on our ability to use the knowledge and experience produced globally. Knowledge management is the inclusion of a full professional potential of some institutions, such as databases, web pages and documents, sharing knowledge within the organization, and with external customers, organizational culture, tacit knowledge and experience of employees, as well as information collected, stored and organized in libraries, archives, administrative and other departments. Considering that the components combined in the knowledge management are knowledge of the organization, storage and retrieval of information, because on information are based the growth and development of knowledge, information professionals-librarians are fit very well in these areas. Librarians, regardless of the technology, always knew how knowledge is organized. Application of new technologies contributions proactive and mediator role of libraries and librarians, especially in the higher education, and makes them at the same time coordinators available information, their analysts and those who evaluated them.

The use of information technology has greatly changed the distribution, accumulation and knowledge management. What was left unchanged is that the knowledge needs to be organized and presented regardless of the medium in which it is written. In that process metadata have an irreplaceable role, they are becoming increasingly important for the identification and management of educational material, so without them, learning management systems might not even work. The aim of this paper is to present the metadata for tagging educational materials, and to compare them in order to present their advantages and disadvantages. Particular attention will be paid to the following standards: Learning Object Metadata - LOM, IMS Learning Resource Metadata, set of metadata elements in the Dublin Core - DCMI and Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). After summarizing the results, we will give an answer to the question why some metadata for tagging objects are imposed more than others and why the library community accepted them.
