Abstract

Information related to the same “information need”, is available from many different sources widely spread on the web. This information may be differently worded or organized based on the conceptualization of the domain by different people and design autonomy. Ontologies are seen as way out for overcoming this semantic heterogeneity and bringing a common understanding for an integrated access, that is formulating a consolidated answer to a single query. In this work we propose an ontology based course prescription for individuals who are willing to enhance their competencies in certain areas.
