Large-scale storage and retrieval of educational metadata using an rdf store

Abstract:

There is a long tradition of the use of metadata stores in the educational setting. These stores usually present a mismatch problem between the structure of the metadata, usually some form of XML, and the structure of the repository itself, for example relational databases, or document-oriented stores. These mismatches lead to reduced functionality of the metadata store. This work presents a different alternative, using RDF as the internal representation of educational repositories. The architecture and actual implementation of such a system is also discussed. The use of a semantic representation of the educational metadata opens the door for novel functionalities that could provide a more intelligent repository to the final user.
