Title
The Role Of Learning Object Ontologies
Abstract
Educational information systems should provide easy access to learning material. In addition learning material should be linked in a way that the learner can easily access all required material. Unfortunately current metadata standards and learning object content models do not support such features as they do not capture enough semantics of learning objects. In this article we present the ontologies that give the semantics for metadata descriptions, and thus support semantic querying and conceptual navigation of learning objects. Semantic querying differs from traditional keyword based searching in that searching expressions are based on ontologies, which describe the concepts of the domain in which learning takes place. Semantic querying can also be used for content based integration of learning objects. Conceptual navigation in turn means that named links can be used in navigating between learning objects. Named links are analogous with the relationships in conceptual models.
