Ontology based knowledge recognition in service-oriented virtual research environments; case: application in e-learning

Abstract

In the paper some methods of ontology-based knowledge recognition in service-oriented virtual research environment are proposed. These methods are about export of knowledge, qualification level and study domain of students, and about automatic evaluation of their skills. The research is situated in different disciplines. Using domain ontology as an instrument for student skills evaluation is set forward. Web services and ontologies provide reuse of these methods in other applications. A prototype automatic tutor has been developed to support e-learning.
