Physics and Electronics Laboratory 23Kalif Sharing day IMAT - how are ontologies used ontologies to index the fragments syntactical aspect of a fragment - medium viewpoint - structural viewpoint - representational viewpoint semantic aspect of a fragment - description viewpoint - domain viewpoint - instructional viewpoint

Physics and Electronics Laboratory 24Kalif Sharing day IMAT - how are ontologies used Some attributes of a fragment

Physics and Electronics Laboratory 25Kalif Sharing day IMAT - how are ontologies used Use of indexing 1. Syntactic, automated indexing for document analysis purposes, not visible for the author. 2. Semantic indexing, partly automated using rules, visible for the instructional author to enable him/her to find the fragments. 3. Instrutional indexing by the instructional author (how and in what instructional setting is the fragment used), not automated.
