TOC " Open source " e-Learning vision " e-Learning framework " Conzilla a tool for conceptual browsing

Open source and licensing " Science, innovation and evolution (discovery-replication) " Free as in free speech " Innovations from industry (ex medication or therapy?) " Grass root revolution " Buisness modell: charge for service " Cross pollination and reuse " GPL and the history of open source

e-Learning Vision " Content managment – construction/annotation by teachers/learners – Techniques: portfolios, profiles, knowledge components and metadata " Knowledge navigation – Conceptual web and ontologies – Conceptmaps UML:ish " Experience-oriented environments – Lerner motivation via active environments (*) – Allows curiosity, expression and collaboration – Personal trust

e-Learning Framework " Open flexible standards – RDF and semantic web (*) – IMS MetaData, content packaging and QTI. " A set of small applications – New functionalities will bring new tools – Collaborating tools can form an LMS " A conceptual web – UML as visually appealing layer of the semantical web – Tools for search and reuse of concepts/relations (*)

e-Commerce approach " A methodology for domain modeling – Original domain model not available, refactoring necessary – UMM (UN/CEFACT) a standardized methodology that uses UML (*) " A mediator that – Understands several schemas – Easily extendable via modeling and mappings (*) – Transfers semantics (both statics and dynamics) – Keeps the system in a legal state

Research issues " Semantic/Conceptual web and their presentations " UML(2.0) in RDF (*) " Metadata, content packaging and other standards in RDF " Semantic interoperability (*) – Transformation schemas – Temporal aspects – Query and filter schema " Methodology for integration of ontologies

Practical " Amount of work to be done – We cooperate with both academia and industry – We are (hopefully) on the right track – Open source and evolution " Will anyone use it? – MIT OCW (Open CourseWare) initiative – National agency for education, National initiative for information structures – Large interest from a long range of parties.
