Research on E-Learning System Prototype Based on Semantic Web Service Technology

E-Learning refers to learning that is delivered or enabled via electronic technology. The major problem existed in current E-Learning is the difficulty of resources sharing and searching, which is mostly caused by the weak-semantic learning resources and the poor sharing mechanism. Meanwhile, selecting appropriate learning services for a learner from a large number of heterogeneous knowledge sources is a complex and challenging task. By applying ontology and Web services technology to E-Learning, this paper presents a service-oriented intelligent E-Learning architecture prototype, where the learning resources with well-defined is presented by ontology and information exchanging is supported by Web services.
