Through EduOnto, a platform that integrates eZ publish and Semantic MediaWiki, a network of 6 Italian Universities intends to focus on the role of ontological knowledge representation, in particular to investigate the perspective of Education and analize applications and theoretical foundations of ontological devices in e-learning and in Web Based Educational Systems.
The ontologies created would be useful not only to the academic community but as fas as its didactic and real-world use is concerned, to students, teachers, and people interested in real world applications and training contexts.
The project takes in account the state of the art of educational research in Italy and in other European countries, such as France, Spain, Germany and England. The ontologies are "negotiated"; there are working exchanges and diological moments to develop a circularity of information flow within the virtual community of experts involved.
The Universities involved are:
* Università di Padova
* Università di Lecce
* Università Cattolica di Milano
* Università Milano Bicocca
* Università di Salerno
* Università di Ferrara - CARID
