Ontology technology for the development and deployment of learning technology systems - a survey.
In: International Conference on Educational Hyper- and Multimedia Edmedia’04, 21-26 June 2004, Lugano, Switzerland.
The World-Wide Web is undergoing dramatic changes at the moment. The Semantic Web is an initiative to bring meaning to the Web. The Semantic Web is based on ontology
technology – a knowledge representation framework – at its core. We illustrate the importance of this evolutionary development. We survey five scenarios demonstrating different forms of applications of ontology technologies in the development and deployment of learning technology
systems. Ontology technologies are highly useful to organise, personalise, and publish learning content and to discover, generate, and compose learning objects.
