Semantic Web-Based Educational Knowledge Service System (EKSS) for E-Learning

The semantic Web constitutes an environment in which human and machine agents will communicate on a semantic basis. It appears as a promising technology for implementing e-learning. In this paper we have described an approach to bring knowledge service to the semantic web for the area of education and learning. We have shown how knowledge service functionalities can be embedded into semantic Web services, supported by other services for retrieving learning resources or user information. We have discussed our EKSS prototype implementing such services, connecting and integrating the knowledge creation, knowledge process, knowledge query and search in our EKSS framework.
