Taking Advantage of LOM Semantics for Supporting Lesson Authoring

Abstract. Learning Object Metadata (LOM) is an interoperable standard focused on enabling the reuse of learning material for authoring lessons. Nevertheless, few work was done on taking advantage of LOMsemantics to facilitate retrieval of learning material. This article suggests an original approach which uses the structure of a lesson in order to automatically generate LOM-semantic-based queries whereas the user continues to formulate easy-to-write queries without semantic specifications. This proposal consists of a four-component framework attempting to consider the main issues of semantic-based retrieval of documents.
