Exploiting the Web of Data to provide descriptions of ICT tools: a preliminary report about SEEK-AT-WD

چکیده
In order to support educators when selecting ICT tools, several educational organizations provide ICT tool registries whose functionality is limited by the data they contain. These registries could reduce the cost of creating and updating their datasets obtaining ICT tool descriptions from the Web of Data. However, some problems hinder the educational consumption of these descriptions: they are not described using an appropriate vocabulary for this specific domain and registries do not discriminate which tools are useful for education. SEEK-AT-WD is proposed as an infrastructure that overcomes these problems and consumes ICT tool descriptions from the Web of Data, publishing them back once they are related to educational concepts. This paper discusses the challenges found when developing SEEK-AT-WD, and how they were solved to take advantage of data from the Web in the educational applications.
