Abstract

The heterogeneity and the high volume of data on the Web are the main features that make it a promoter field of knowledge engineering for researcher. However, the user is getting lost towards the diversity of information on the Web. In this paper, we propose an approach, to assist user, based on Semantic Web technologies. Our scenario is focused on the field of education and in particular higher education. This choice is motivated by the diversity of information sources where the student is dispersed.
