Abstract

Learning Object Metadata (LOM) is an interoperable standard aimed to foster the reuse of learning material for authoring lessons. Nevertheless, few work was done on taking advantage of LOM-semantics to facilitate retrieval of learning material. This article suggests an original approach which uses the structure of a lesson in order to automatically generate LOM-semantic-based queries for retrieving learning material for that lesson whereas the user continues to formulate easy-to-write queries without semantic specifications. This proposal consists of a four-component framework attempting to consider the main issues of semantic-based retrieval of documents.
