Abstract

Our claim is that semantic metadata are required to allow a real reusing and assembling of learning objects. Our system is based on three models used to describe the knowledge domain, users and learning objects. In order to automatically process these models and make available basic reasoning capabilities, we have defined mappings to RDF. A prototype is being developed using Sesame, an RDF tool that supports the declarative query language SeRQL. This paper focuses on RDF mappings definition and how to use SeRQL to achieve the functionality required by our approach.
