ABSTRACT
We present a framework for the automatic generation of links based on salient semantic structures extracted from homogeneous web repositories, and discuss an imple-mentation of the framework. For this study, we consider homogeneous the repositories of the eClass, an instrumented environment that automatically captures details of a lecture and provides effective multimedia-enhanced web-based in-terfaces for users to review the lecture, and the CoWeb, a web-based service for collaborative authoring of web-based material. We exploited Latent Semantic Analysis over data indexed by a general public license search engine. We exper-imented our service with data from a graduate course sup-ported by both eClass and CoWeb repositories. We present the results of the Latent Semantic Analysis linking service in the light of results previously obtained with our previous works.
