Applying ontologies to educational resources retrieval driven by cultural aspects

Abstract

This work proposes the inclusion of cultural aspects management into an educational resource retrieval system in order to guide the semi-automatic semantic retrieval of electronic-materials. To this end, we define an ontology of cultural aspects that will basically provide a sound specification of the diverse cultural aspects and a semantic query refiner. Then, we explain why the ontology of cultural aspects is a key piece in this system.
