Abstract:
Web 3.0 allows learning content to be semantically annotated thus facilitating improved information retrieval, reuse and integration. This short paper presents a design pattern for progressively describing and annotating learning content components in Web 3.0 based on key concepts adopted from social semiotics. Furthermore, the paper exemplifies how this design pattern may be encoded using a structured data format such as RDFa Lite and a general-purpose vocabulary like schema.org. Finally, some potential benefits of this approach are briefly touched upon.
