Interopérabilité et web sémantique : le cas d'une plateforme de publication d'articles scientifiques en sciences de gestion

International audienceThis article deals with the question of interoperability between Knowledge Organization Systems, taking into example a small repository of scientific article in Management Science. The use of simple Dublin Core and additional Dublin Core Elements with specific and local application profile is more and more used by database system. Nowadays, qualified Dublin Core is encoded in terms of RDF, the Resource Description Framework, is an answer to harvest metadata from repository with for example COINS (ContextObjects in Spans). But according to SAFARI methodology, we should go to the semantic web and be able to write better taxonomy, to develop really standardized language such as SKOS and to use standardized vocabularies. And in this article we will ask some questions about the development of theses standardized vocabularies used in management sciences.Cet article s'intéresse à la question de la question essentielle de l'interopérabilité entre systèmes d'organisation des connaissances en prenant le cas d'une plateforme de publication d'articles scientifiques en sciences de gestion. L'utilisation du Dublin Core simple et/ou étendue avec un profil d'application spécifique à une discipline est largement utilisée par des entrepôts de données pour l'exportation des métadonnées. L'arrivée du Dublin Core Qualifié, exprimé sous le format RDF (Resource Description Framework) est une réponse immédiate au moissonnage des entrepôts de données, notamment avec les Coins (ContextObjects in Spans). Mais il faut aller plus loin selon la méthode SAFARI qui conseille de rédiger une taxonomie, de développer un langage standardisé SKOS, voir d'utiliser des vocabulaires contrôlés pour intégrer le web sémantique. Et dans cet article nous nous intéresserons donc à la question délicate des classifications et des vocabulaires contrôlés qui pourraient être définis dans le cadre spécifique des sciences de gestion

Multimedia and e-Learning integration for supporting training programs in agriculture by MOODLE

The NODES project aims at facilitating, for adult training / lifelong training, the use of multimedia knowledge to improve competitiveness employability and mobility of handicapped adults (physical and sensorial) and of adults victims of the digital divide or of some of its components such as distance, initial level of knowledge, language, use of complex technologies. The NODES project is focused, on the wide sense, on the production and diffusion of knowledge created within public and private organizations dedicated to adult training or by individuals, through Europe. Within the project the MOODLE e-Learning system was selected and more multimedia content will be integrated into the knowledge base. The EU-Index metadatabase collects content sources for the project partners. Another target is to integrate video files into the systems. This parts are integrated by the logical and physical architectures of the NODES

eBank UK: linking research data, scholarly communication and learning

This paper includes an overview of the changing landscape of scholarly communication and describes outcomes from the innovative eBank UK project, which seeks to build links from e-research through to e-learning. As introduction, the scholarly knowledge cycle is described and the role of digital repositories and aggregator services in linking data-sets from Grid-enabled projects to e-prints through to peer-reviewed articles as resources in portals and Learning Management Systems, are assessed. The development outcomes from the eBank UK project are presented including the distributed information architecture, requirements for common ontologies, data models, metadata schema, open linking technologies, provenance and workflows. Some emerging challenges for the future are presented in conclusion

Collaborative Creation of the OER Metadata Rosetta Stone

The OER Discovery Working Group is a newly formed collaborative effort among OER advocates, facilitated by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), involving metadata and cataloging librarians, and relevant specialists in the U.S. and Canada. This group’s focus is to support the community in developing best practices and outline potential next steps for how metadata standards could contribute to platform-neutral discovery of OER. Members of the OER Discovery Work Group consist of stakeholders from eCampus Ontario, Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education’s (ISKME) OER Commons, State University of New York (SUNY) at Geneseo’s Openly Available Sources Integrated Search (OASIS), and Mt Hood Community College Library’s (MHCC) OER MARC template. They created a document that translates core functionality across 3 commonly used metadata vocabularies - MARC21, Dublin Core, and Schema.org/LRMI - to meet the specific needs for OER. This presentation will share the OER Metadata Rosetta Stone (CC-BY), highlight the collaborative process, and welcome discussion with attendees to inform future applications and collaborative developments for the community as a whole

A Study on the Open Source Digital Library Software's: Special Reference to DSpace, EPrints and Greenstone

The richness in knowledge has changed access methods for all stake holders in retrieving key knowledge and relevant information. This paper presents a study of three open source digital library management software used to assimilate and disseminate information to world audience. The methodology followed involves online survey and study of related software documentation and associated technical manuals.Comment: 9 Pages, 3 Figures, 1 Table, "Published with International Journal of Computer Applications (IJCA)

Ontology-based domain modelling for consistent content change management

Ontology-based modelling of multi-formatted software application content is a challenging area in content management. When the number of software content unit is huge and in continuous process of change, content change management is important. The management of content in this context requires targeted access and manipulation methods. We present a novel approach to deal with model-driven content-centric information systems and access to their content. At the core of our approach is an ontology-based semantic annotation technique for diversely formatted content that can improve the accuracy of access and systems evolution. Domain ontologies represent domain-specific concepts and conform to metamodels. Different ontologies - from application domain ontologies to software ontologies - capture and model the different properties and perspectives on a software content unit. Interdependencies between domain ontologies, the artifacts and the content are captured through a trace model. The annotation traces are formalised and a graph-based system is selected for the representation of the annotation traces

Using metadata for content indexing within an OER network

This paper outlines the ICT solution for a metadata portal indexing open educational resources within a network of institutions. The network is aimed at blending academic and entrepreneurial knowledge,by enabling higher education institutions to publish various academic learning resources e.g. video lectures, course planning materials, or thematic content, whereasenterprises can present different forms of expert knowledge, such as case studies, expert presentations on specific topics, demonstrations of software implementation in practice and the like. As these resources need to bediscoverable, accessible and shared by potential learners across the learning environment, it is very important that they are well described and tagged in a standard way in machine readable form by metadata. Only then can they be successfully used and reused, especially when a large amount of these resources is reached, which makes it hard for the user to locate efficiently those of interest. The metadata set adopted in our approach relies on two standards: Dublin Core and Learning Object Metadata. The aim of metadata and the corresponding metadata portal described in this paper is to provide structured access to information on open educational resources within the network
