LUISA - Learning Content Management System Using Innovative Semantic Web Services Architecture
LUISA addressed the development of a reference semantic architecture for the major challenges in the search, interchange and delivery of learning objects in a service-oriented context. This entails the technical description of the solution in terms of current SWS technology, and also the provision of the ontologies, facilities and components required to extend and enhance existing learning technology systems with the advanced capabilities provided by computational semantics.
Impact
The technology development objective of LUISA is put in a context of relevant learning scenarios - both academic and industrial - for evaluation and also to serve as a blueprint for technology adoption. The outcomes of LUISA aimed at making a significant contribution to the automation of learning technology systems beyond current standards, fostering the advancement of Web-based learning with an increase in the capacity to locate, search and negotiate learning resources mediated by semantic tools.
Main innovation
The main technical innovations and outcomes of LUISA have been:
- Developing a Semantic Web Service-based Architecture for Learning Object Discovery, Selection, Negotiation and Composition.
- Developing Semantic Learning Object Annotation Techniques.
- Annotation Tool development.
- Integration of the architecture into existing LCMS.
- Academic and industrial case study reports.
