TM4L: Creating and Browsing Educational Topic Maps
In this article we describe TM4L an environment for building, maintaining, and using standards-based, ontology-aware e-learning repositories. It is based on the idea that concept-driven access to learning material implemented as a Topic Map can bridge the gap between a learner and targeted knowledge. One of the driving goals of this work is to increase the reusability of available educational r...
متن کاملContext as Collection of Alternatives
In this paper we propose a computational framework oriented towards e-learning applications and information seeking tasks. The notion of context is perceived as an abstraction referring to “locality of connections” based on the existing semantic relationships between concepts. Its utilization is demonstrated within a context-aware information support environment TM4L (based on the Topic Maps pa...
متن کاملContextual Retrieval of Digital Content in Topic Maps
In this paper we discuss the contextual support provided in TM4L an environment for building and using Topic Maps-based learning repositories. We propose an extension of the Topic Maps model with contexts and an approach for contextual retrieval of information. Our approach is based on defining context primitives and a simple language for expressing context queries. The resources retrieved by r...
متن کاملHelping Courseware Authors to Build Ontologies: The Case of TM4L
The authors of topic map-based learning resources face major difficulties in constructing the underlying ontologies. In this paper we propose two approaches to address this problem. The first one is aimed at automatic construction of a “draft” topic map for the authors to start with. It is based on a set of heuristics for extracting semantic information from HTML documents and transforming it i...
متن کاملAuthoring Topic Maps-based Digital Course Libraries
Digital course libraries are educational Web applications that contain instructional materials to assist students’ learning in a specific discipline (course). To address the critical issues of findability and reusability of learning resources, we propose a general framework for standards-based, ontologyaware course libraries and use it to develop an environment for building, maintaining, and us...
