An Ontology-Based Digital Libraryon the e-Learning Domain

Resumo

Resumo: The technological changes stress professional requirements anddemand the mastery of new skills. The changeable context also stressesteachers’ job. In this context, the delivering of Web-based continuingeducation can be useful, since it is an important information space. Moreover,tools for data retrieval at the Internet work at the syntactic level, disregardingthe semantic aspects. Solutions point out to Web Semantic technologies. Ourcontribution is to develop a digital library for the e-learning specific domainusing ontology-based semantic querying.
