One of the most interests is currently a field related with serious game. Also, the scale of serious game industry is rapid quantitative growth every year. For effective management of metadata of serious game is an important issue so that we propose design of integrated management system for effective management of metadata of serious game. The system provide a service based on internet. Users(general users, developers, experts and managers of metadata) of serious game who can carry out effectively works using proposed system such as new metadata information input, existing metadata information search, generated document files(HTML, XML, EXCEL, MS-WORD) as search results saving into their owns local computer system and so on.

The Metadata are used for the reuse of core information, distribution and management, protection of copyright and prevention of overlapping investment. Serious game consists of multi-hierarchial multimedia data. And quality information is very important for selection according to the purpose of the game. In this paper, we designed the serious game metadata schema, including multi-media characteristic information and measurable quality information. This study will lay the groundwork for the development of metadata system which can provide serious game users with reliability through quality information, and with compatibility through multi-media characteristic information. Furthermore, we hope this study will be helpful to stable growth in serious game industry.

Today, Educational serious games are occupying a large portion of the serious game market but there is a lack of the quality evaluation systems for providing useful quality evaluation information about educational serious game to user or developer. Although the existing metadata management system for serious game is developed, the system had not provided a function to manage the quality evaluation information for educational serious game. Therefor the development of quality evaluation management system of educational serious game is a very important challenge. We proposed design of the system for managing a metadata and a quality evaluation for educational serious game. The advantage of our system is that the system provide a lot of reliable useful information for general users and developers, and support an easy and convenient tool to manage the metadata and quality information to managers.

During the past 10 years, serious game industry has been growing steadily. But the system which could stably and reliably provide metadata information and quality information related to serious game remained unexploited. Existing systems only support the basic management functions of metadata search centered. Therefore, we have developed an integrated system to manage the quality information of serious game as well as to improve the inconvenient details of the existing systems. And we designed quality evaluation elements and quality information supply-methods, and linked up them to the system. Furthermore, we conducted user's satisfaction assessment survey on the use of the system. The advantage of the system is that the system provide a lot of useful information for general users and developers, and support a tool to manage all information related to serious game by easy and convenient method for managers.

Called G-learning the domestic history of the serious game is only a mere 10-odd years or so but in recent years, due to the increased interest of users and industry for the serious game and serious games industry has been the continued growth of large quantity. Current the various types of serious games have been developed and the demand for serious games is increasing rapidly. Therefore that is becoming an important issue the problem of including a quality evaluation elements into serious game metadata to make the right choice of users for the high-quality serious games. In this paper, we recognize deeply the need for quality evaluation element development for serious game and we propose a method and a process for developing the quality evaluation elements of serious game. Also, we develop a draft of the quality evaluation elements for serious game using proposed method.

Given the lack of suitable quality evaluation standards for educational serious games (designed for both entertainment and instruction), we designed a development framework for evaluation standards of educational serious games and proceeded to develop standards in accordance with our proposed procedure. Our standards were designed to evaluate the quality of both technical and non-technical elements of educational serious game software products. We conducted a survey on the need for individual elements of the standard. Participants rated the need for each element on a five-point Likert scale. We then performed a reliability analysis of the survey results. Based on the survey results, we established a final standard for quality evaluation composed of 9 main elements and 31 sub-elements. The results of our research will contribute useful information to users as well as to the developers of educational serious games.
