Building learner's ontologies to assist personalized search of learning objects

The present work is devoted to building learning object's and learner's ontologies using the OntoClean methodology and IDEF5 method, and mapping the ontologies to OWL. The proposed methodology for building learning object's and learner's ontologies accommodates the IEEE LOM standard. The software tool OnToIDEF5 has been developed for the purpose to implement the proposed approaches for building ontologies. These ontologies have been built to be used to assist the personalized search of learning objects on the Semantic Web.
