An approach for the automatic generation af a content type of a semantic learning object from ontology

Abstract

Today, we're seeing strong demand real-time information, with a rapid expansion of mobile learning (m-learning). We also see that there are many educational resources on the Internet. The learning objects (LOs) are designed as a way to reuse these resources. Some of these LOs are built for fixed devices, which hinders their use on mobile devices. A LO is an area that is open to research that has a lot of potential in the creation, adaptation and production of learning content. The language of the Semantic Web using XML technology and ontology are increasingly used in electronic publishing documents while completely separating content from presentation. Creating a new LO with the semantic web is complex and raises difficulties because the available authoring tools that require a general knowledge of XML syntax and its related technologies. In this article, we describe an original approach to generate automatically from ontologies in the field of education, a type of content (XML Schema) for the semantic creating a SQL language LO in a native format XML, which may be subsequently adapted to the display of the mobile devices.
