User Profile Interchange in a Service-oriented Architecture

An adaptive e-learning system needs meaningful information about the learners, the user profile, to achieve a correct content tuning for each of the students. The gathering of this information is a laborious and time-consuming task motivating the interchange and enhancement of user profile. This paper describes an approach designed for sharing learners' profile information among systems. Our main objective is to provide a standard communication protocol and architecture that makes possible to different e-learning systems to cooperate in order to gather a set of learner model information, richer than that found in a standalone e-learning system. This work is part of a long-term project intended to allow content adaptation for e-learning systems.
