Learner Ontology for the Active Semantic Learning System

The efficiency of the learning experience in a learning system is highly related to the capability of the system to offer learning resources in concordance with learner´s needs and preferences. In the context of the semantic learning systems, the description of the learning objects and learners is realized using ontologies. In this paper we present a learner ontology used in the context of a semantic learning system. We study and conceptualize some of the learning-related dimensions of a learner, which can be used in a semantic learning system in order to provide the learner with an efficient learning experience. The learner ontology is constructed having in mind relations that a learner have with other objects that participate at the learning experience.
