Abstract: This paper describes our idea for personalized e-Learning in the Semantic Web which is based on configurable, re-usable personalization services. To realize our ideas, we have developed a framework for designing, implementing and maintaining personal learning object readers, which enable the learners to study learning objects in an embedding, personalized context. We describe the architecture of our Personal Reader framework, and discuss the implementation of personalization services in the Semantic Web. We have realized two Personal Readers for e-Learning: one for learning Java programming, and another for learning about the Semantic Web.

Abstract: The challenge of the semantic web is the provision of distributed information with well-defined meaning, understandable for different parties. Particularly, applications should be able to provide individually optimized access to information by taking the individual needs and requirements of the users into account. In this paper we propose a framework for personalized e-Learning in the semantic web and show how the semantic web resource description formats can be utilized for automatic generation of hypertext structures from distributed metadata. Ontologies and metadata for three types of resources (domain, user, and observation) are investigated. We investigate a logic-based approach to educational hypermedia using TRIPLE, a rule and query language for the semantic web.

Abstract: The Personal Reader framework implements a service-based architecture for developing and maintaining personalization functionalities on the Semantic Web, stemming from disciplines like e.g. adaptive hypermedia systems or collaborative filtering systems. A modular framework of components / services - for providing the user interface, for mediating between user requests and available personalization services, for user modeling, for providing personal recommendations and context information, et cetera, is the core of the Personal Reader framework. When a user is viewing some Web Content (the "Reader" part of the Personal Reader) s/he receives additional, personal information on the context of this particular Web content (the "Personal" part of the Personal Reader). Personal Readers have been developed for the area of e-Learning (Java, Semantic Web), and for browsing scientific publications.
