Abstract
Effective distributed user modelling in intelligent tutoring systems requires the integration of both pedagogical and domain applications. This integration is difficult, and often requires rebuilding applications for the specific e-learning environment that has been deployed. This paper puts forth both an architecture and an implementation prototype for achieving this integration. It focuses on providing platform and language neutral access to services, without commitment to any particular ontology.
