Domain Ontology, an instrument of semantic web knowledge management in e-learning

Domain ontology is proposed as an instrument for controlling of e-learning course results. This approach instead of traditional testing more objectively reflects the structure of students’ knowledge. Use of ontologies for knowledge representation provides interoperability of the used testing systems. The domain knowledge has been found and reuse in the semantic web world. Domain ontology developing is based on the principles of ontological analysis. The method of it’s use for evaluation of the learners’ knowledge results is based on matching of the learners’ ontology with the reference ontology proposed by the trainer/tutor. A multi-agent system for e-learning (M(e)L ) has been defined and a prototype system has been developed. In a case, the domain ontology and the semantic web representation has been applied in two e-learning university courses.
