Abstract
Digital Libraries present tremendous potential for developing e-learning applications, such as text comprehension and question-answering tools. A way to build this kind of tools is structuring the digital content into relevant concepts and dependency relations among them. While the literature offers several approaches for the former, the identification of dependencies, and specifically of prerequisite relations, is still an open issue. We present an approach to manage this task.
