  1. Applying semantic web technologies to the meta-description of medical educational resources Evangelia Mitsopoulou, St George’s University of LondonPanagiotis Bamidis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Daniela Giordano, University of Catania, Italy Stefan Dietze, Open University, UKCharalampos Bratsas, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011

  2. Introduction • Problem • Lack of standardisation mechanisms, that enable state-of-the-art of medical educational resources to be discovered, retrieved, shared and re-used across European Academic Institutions • Solution • Standardised format of description of the resources by means of metadata • Metadata need to be described by state-of-the-art e-learning standards and make use of their many advantages Semantic Web, Linked Data • Aim • To improve medical & healthcare education MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011

  3. Metadata Quality in mEducator • General Characteristics • To describe core data about the resources • To describe educational aspects of the resources • To be implemented by state-of-the-art specifications • Need to be widely used (interoperable) • Reusing existing e-learning standards • Should not reinvent the wheel • Extending e-learning standards to describe new concepts i.e. Repurposing, Companionship, Attention MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011

  4. Semantic Web Technologies Know-Why ? MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011

  10. Conceptual Model - In detail MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011

  11. Conclusions & Next Steps • Standardisation format in order to enable sharing and retrieving of resources is essential • Choice of the right format (RDF/XML) will link the data of the Web. Benefits: • Access existing knowledge • Interoperability between resources • Shift towards an Ontology MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011

  16. Medical Educational Resources Aim: To enable specialized state-of-the-art medical educational content of varying types to be discovered, retrieved, shared and re-used across European higher academic institutions. • How: By implementing and evaluating two different solutions • A “mashup” platform that aggregates content published in isolated Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) • A federated architecture of LCMSs based on Semantic Web Services for search, interchange and delivery of learning objects
