Ontologies: a Solution for the Learning

This paper presents an ontology model used for specifying a knowledge domain in the teaching/learning process and a proper methodology for the personalization of the didactic/training experience of single students basing on their didactic objectives and domains, their acquired knowledge and learning preferences. In our vision, it is important to preserve a specific ontology used in the definition of a given didactic domain that could be reused in different learning contexts. Therefore, particular attention is given to a number of operations that allow to recover and adjust the existing ontologies. Today’s topical and growing Social phenomenon on the Web is represented by the folksonomies, and moving forward by the so-called Social Semantic Tagging, or simply, “rich tagging”. This study outlines its framework and use.
