Supporting e-learning with language resources and semantic data
Valletta, Malta
This workshop has been organised within the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2010). From the announcement: "Language resources are of crucial importance not only for research and development in language and speech technology but also for eLearning applications. In addition, the increasingly availability of semantically interpreted data in the WEB 3.0 is creating a huge impact in semantic technology. Social media applications such as Delicious, Flikr, You tube, Facebook, provide us with data in the form of tags and interactions among users. We believe that the exploitation of semantic data (emerging both from the Semantic Web and from social media) and language resources will drive the next generation eLearning platforms. The integration of these technologies within eLearning applications should also facilitate access to learning material in developing economies." Supported by the LTfLL project.
