Ontologies and Knowledge Aggregation in the Active Semantic Learning System

The construction of semantic-based learning systems depends on the development of ontologies and the capacity to integrate and exploit knowledge using semantic technologies, notably RDF and ontologies. In this paper we present some of the concepts and ontologies defined in the Active Semantic Learning System (Active SLS). The purpose is to obtain a learning system that is capable of aggregating knowledge from different sources from the web and exploiting that knowledge for the benefit of the learner.
