Cooperative Courseware-Authoring Support

Abstract We refined our knowledge classification and indexing approach applied in our previously developed system Agent-Based Information Management System by introducing ontology-oriented support for cooperative courseware authoring. In order to provide a basis for formal semantics and reasoning in performing generic-authoring tasks, we add ontology-based layers in the courseware authoring architecture. Ontological structuring also opens the way for cooperative authoring (e.g., re-usage), setting the basis for authoring collaboration.
