Summary:
The project is one of eight currently funded by the joint ESRC and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council Technology Enhanced Learning Programme to explore the potential of the Semantic Web to support
teaching and learning in complex, controversial and rapidly-evolving fields using case based learning.
The project is exploring both the nature and role of the cases around which
learning is focused, and the role that emerging Semantic Web technologies and
techniques can play in supporting this learning. The backend repository being built focuses on
Fedora, with metadata schemas being developed to deal with a disparate range of
object types and their relationships. Front ends will focus on piloting
semantic web (such as Semantic Interoperability of Metadata and Information in unLike Environments: SIMILE) and Web 3.0 tools developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the
University of Technology in Sydney.
