Abstract
In this paper, we present a review on the use of ontologies in learning object repositories systems for searching and suggestion purposes, considering its adoption for the seaThings project that aims to promote the ocean literacy. We also describe the use case of the Cognix system and Agent-based Learning Objects - OBAA metadata standard for learning objects which is being implemented on a new learning objects repository. This system includes concepts from artificial intelligence such as agents and ontologies that aim to improve the search and so making the system more responsive. This paper also sugests how an ontology can be implemented, using metadata in learning object repositories to provide relevant aspects, such as interoperability, reuse, and searching.
