e-LEARNING AND SEMANTIC WEB

Abstract

e-Learning is fast, relevant and just-in-time learning grown from the learning requirements of the new, dynamically changing and distributed educational world. The term “Semantic Web” encompasses efforts to build a new WWW architecture that supports content with formal semantics, which enables better possibilities for searching and navigating through the cyberspace. As such, the Semantic Web represents a promising technology for realizing e-Learning requirements. This paper presents an approach for implementing the e-Learning scenario using Semantic Web technologies. It is primarily based on ontology-based descriptions of content, context and structure of the learning materials and benefits the providing of and accessing to the learning materials.
