Using Topic Maps for Web-based Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the educational and research benefits of applying an innovative technology Topic Maps for organizing and retrieving online information in the context of Web-based courseware. Topic maps offer a standardsbased approach to encoding expert’s domain and instructional knowledge, i.e. to building educational ontologies and courseware components. This allows further reuse, sharing, and interoperability of knowledge structures and teaching units between courseware authors and developers. We also present our current work on developing, evaluating, and utilizing Topic maps-based courseware modules.

Viewing and Querying Topic Maps in terms of RDF
Both Topic Maps and RDF are popular semantic web standards designed for machine processing of web documents. Since these representations were originally created for different purposes, they have conceptual differences in their data models, and therefore have different tools to parse, store, and query them. However, there are more tools to handle RDF data than those existing for Topic Maps. Our ...
متن کاملVisualizing search results and document collections using topic maps
This paper explores visualizations of document collections, which we call topic maps. Our topic maps are based on a topic model of the document collection, where the topic model is used to determine the semantic content of each document. Using two collections of search results, we show how topic maps reveal the semantic structure of a collection and visually communicate the diversity of content...
متن کاملSPARQL queries to RDFS views of Topic Maps
Both Topic Maps and RDF are popular semantic web standards designed for machine processing of web documents. Since these representations were originally created for different purposes, they have differences both in their concepts and in their data models. The Topic Map data model can be seen as an ontology for building indices over web documents, whereas RDF is a language to define arbitrary pr...

متن کاملAuthoring Topic Maps-based Digital Course Libraries
Digital course libraries are educational Web applications that contain instructional materials to assist students’ learning in a specific discipline (course). To address the critical issues of findability and reusability of learning resources, we propose a general framework for standards-based, ontologyaware course libraries and use it to develop an environment for building, maintaining, and us...
