A Courses Ontology System for Computer Science Education

A computer knowledge system plays a crucial role in computer education owing to the diversification and speedy development of computer courses. There are many curriculum resources, especially in China, but most of them are relatively independent and cannot guide students to acquire more knowledge which is relevant to this course directly. To relieve these issues, in this paper, we propose an ontology system for the computer course architecture (OSCCA) to instruct, guide, and direct students efficient learning. OSCCA collects undergraduate course catalogs from the twenty famous Chinese universities and some network education websites. Then course entities and their interrelationships are culled to build Chinese course ontology. Based on these roles, OSCCA can provide effectively and contributed learning guidance to the fresh learner and OSCCA is developed by Java.
