Preparation of the learning content for semantic e-learning environment
Abstract Development of semantic Web has significantly influenced changes in Web based e-learning systems. Semantic e-learning environment is setting new requirements for storing learning objects. In order to enable interpretation of learning objects by applications and computers as well as interoperability of machines and applications, it is necessary to store not only the learning content but also its description (metadata). This is achieved thanks to homogenous semantic annotation in accordance with predefined metadata schemes. Important aspect is integration of the learning content into previously mentioned metadata schemes. This article presents certain facts that need to be considered in the process of generating consistent metadata that will be useful for manipulation of learning objects.
