Research on Learning Resource Sharing System with Ontology-Based Hierarchy Semantic Model

Sharing, re-purposing of learning resources are directions of e-learning system, and the developing semantic technology has potential to provide more advanced solutions for these requirements. There have been many research efforts in this direction. However, existing solutions have many weaknesses on resources usability and system availability. The paper proposes a feasible architecture for constructing learning resource sharing system with semantic technology, and ontology-based hierarchy semantic model and method to construct course ontology are described. The approach has been validated with prototype system.
