Adaptive Knowledge Services Based on Grid Architecture

Grid Technology has proven to be a suitable means for the efficient sharing of various resources within a well–defined community. The EC–funded projects LeGE–WG and e–LeGI have set out to apply this technology for technology enhanced learning services. Previously, the applicability of distributed skill maps for adaptive e–Learning within a grid network has been discussed. In this paper, we propose a further extension of that idea to be applied for personalised knowledge and skill management and human resource selection and development. This extension combines the flexibility of GRID as a service oriented environment, capable of delivering both adaptive services, and a content distribution network, suitable for delivering learning content.
