Abstract

Attach metadata to digital objects effectively underlies the development of high-quality services in systems. This work explores how the metadata of a learning object represented as linked data, in a brand new repository, can be a facilitator to a more complete catalog and search with contents recommendations. The proposed approach underlies in DBpedia Spotlight for unstructured text annotation to deliver recommendations at the learning object cataloging phase and GEMET, a marine domain thesaurus, to expand marine searching terms. Each learning object is described with OBAA metadata as a set of triples stored in Resource Description Framework format to deliver interoperability and Linked Data compatibility.

This work is financed by the FEDER in 85% and by regional funds in 15%, through the Operational Program Azores 2020, within the scope of the SEA-THINGS Learning Objects to Promote Ocean Literacy project ACORES-01-0145-FEDER-000110. This study was also supported in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brazil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001. This work was partially funded by FEDER funds through the Operational Programme for Competitiveness Factors - COMPETE and by National Funds through FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology under the UID/BIA/50027/2020 and POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006821, by funding the CIBIO/InBIO.
