Improving Web Based Training using an XML content base
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we point out the benefits of using structured content in Web Based Training (WBT) scenarios. Using an XML compliant subset of the DocBook document type definition –enriched with semantics for interactive hypermedia and educational elements– we present a complete publishing workflow for educational online material. Original content is authored in an SGML/XML editor, then processed into a set of XML files containing course structure and contents. Finally a web server extension written in Java (servlet) renders this XML content on-the-fly into HTML pages according to learner preferences, desired target media or current educational situation. All user requests and their parameters are logged into a relational database. This allows the collection and sharing of comparable data on applicability and effectiveness of the content and helps to improve the quality of future online courses.

Data Extraction using Content-Based Handles
In this paper, we present an approach and a visual tool, called HWrap (Handle Based Wrapper), for creating web wrappers to extract data records from web pages. In our approach, we mainly rely on the visible page content to identify data regions on a web page. In our extraction algorithm, we inspired by the way a human user scans the page content for specific data. In particular, we use text fea...
متن کاملContent oriented retrieval on document centric XML
XML is the perfect format for storing (mostly) textual documents in a digital library; its flexibility enables users to store both highly structured data (like database records) and free text in the same document. The data-centric parts can be searched using query languages like XPath and XQuery, where exact conditions on the structure can be imposed. For digital libraries, however, it is impor...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Semantic Web Improving Web Data Accessibility and Performance
The Internet has known a very fast evolution, going from the Web 1.0, i.e., the traditional Web where users are merely consumers of static information, to the more dynamic Web 2.0, known as the Social or Collaborative Web, where users produce and consume information simultaneously, and heading toward the more sophisticated and eagerly anticipated Web 3.0, better known as the Semantic Web: exten...
متن کاملX-SHAAD: An XML Implementation for Hypermedia Systems Modeling through SHAAD
In this paper we present an implementation using XML and Java (XSHAAD) based on a modular architecture of SHAAD to support a web-based Adaptive Hypermedia System. This architecture considers the hypermedia adaptation along three different “adaptivity dimensions”: user characteristics, technology (the network and the user’s terminal), and user interaction. At present, web content delivery from s...
