Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we present a simple application of Description Logics in order to improve the semantic search engine of a multimedia e-Learning tool. CHESt (Computer History Expert System) allows students to enter a freely formulated question about computer history. The system returns a very short commented list of multimedia clips in which the user finds the answer to his question. Finding the semantically pertinent clip(s) is the challenge. In this paper we illustrate how the semantic reasoning process can be improved by using Description Logics as a formal representation language for specifying documents and queries. |
