Summary
This chapter gives an overview over the use of Ontologies and Metadata for eLearning as well as about innovative approaches and techniques we developed for enhanced eLearning scenarios. After a brief introduction to the field of metadata, metadata bindings and metadata annotations in the context of a large computer science testbed we will introduce different ontologies we used for metadata classifications to describe content /topic of a resource. Finally we will discuss the usage of these ontologies in the context of the Edutella project, which represents the first RDF-based peer-to-peer network for digital resources and for the exchange of learning objects and services.
