Abstract
The Semantic Web is the next giant step of the current web technology. The use and application of the Semantic Web in E-learning has been explored with regard to two areas: 1) software that supports instructors to perform their tasks in flexible online educational settings, and 2) software that interprets the structure of distributed, self organized, and self-directed web-based learning. These two application areas and related tasks require a semantic representation of educational entities and pedagogical material, specifically the structure and the techniques of the teaching-learning process. In most E-learning systems users are able to manage and reuse learning contents according to their needs without any access problems. The main objectives of this study are: how can e-learning take advantage of Semantic Web technology, and how to integrate the Semantic Web technologies with e-learning systems, taking into consideration the standards and reusable learning objects (LO), and to show the advantages of improving the descriptions of content, context and structure of the learning material. The main goal of this article it to introduce an updated E-learning model based on the latest Semantic Web architectures.

Summary
The significance of web-based learning is growing in all kinds of learning scenarios, and E-learning is generally seen as the chance to innovative learning. The Semantic Web appears as a promising technology for implementing E-learning It constitutes an environment in which human and machine agents will communicate on a semantic basis [1]. It is about common formats for interchange of data, where on the original Web we only had interchange of documents It is about the language for recording how data relates to real world objects. The paper is organized as follows: in section two we introduce the latest version of the semantic web architecture while in section three we present E-learning system requirements. In section five we introduce the impact and benefits of Semantic Web in E-learning environment. In section six we introduce our updated version of conceptual E-learning model based on the Semantic Web architecture.
