Problems
• Difficulties in formulating and adopting standards for learning objects (common problem to all top-down approaches)
• Large quantities of heterogeneous learning object repositories
• Lack of appropriate and effective search tools for the identification and composition of learning objects
• Lack of visualization tools for large quantities of information no overview of the available learning material

“Semantic” = “pertaining to meaning”
Semantic technologies machines access the meaning of content
• 1st approach: top-down manually tag all Web pages by invisible, computer-readable metadata RDF, OWL,…
• 2nd approach: bottom-up abandon dream of re-coding all Web sites and develop better computational intelligence to enable machines to understand enough content for practical applications

Concrete examples of semantic content modeling
• Automatic categorization: self-organized / tuned / pre-defined (85% precision / 91% recall on “noisy”, multi-lingual documents) cross-lingual content recognition • Synonym search, Semantic search Content similarity search
• Semantic links between documents
• Abstract generation
