Abstract

One of the main problems facing the development of ontology-aware authoring systems (OAS) is to link domain-independent knowledge (ontologies) with content of a specific domain. In collaborative learning (CL), this problem hinders the development of OAS that aids the design of pedagogically sound CL sessions with strong technological support. In this paper, we propose a framework to connect an ontology that represents CL explicitly with domain content without asking end-users to create their own ontologies from scratch.
