Hi SWEO-ers, as I mentioned at the last telecon, I am a part of "REASE team" and also work in the KnowledgeWeb project. Without going too much in depth, REASE is a repository of diverse educational materials targetting both academic and industrial audiences. Materials are about a range of topics related to the Semantic Web; most of them originating from various tutorials or seminars. Generally speaking, it's a good resource if the aim is to educate, teach or train... Apologies, I couldn't participate today to give this introduction verbally, but feel free to visit REASE and see how could the content be used. While REASE is a portal, its purpose is to store materials, manage their bookings, etc. In other words, the content can be used by a skilled professional tutor or trainer to deliver a course or a session on a given topic, but the material is usually not ideal for "self study"... For your information, we have currently around 140 materials for academic audience and around 50 suitable also for the industrial audience; mostly in English, but we have a few French, German and possibly Spanish texts. In addition to the materials in REASE, another aspect that might be relevant to the InfoGathering group is the topic taxonomy that kind of co-evolved as the materials were uploaded by the authors, and we contributed to it from KWeb... That taxonomy is available and might be used e.g. to organize various other materials, information, etc. for SWEO InfoGathering portal... see e.g. [3] [3] ... http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Semantic_Web_Topic_Hierarchy Kind regards, M. -- Martin Dzbor, PhD., MBA Knowledge Media Institute Walton Hall, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK http://kmi.open.ac.uk/people/dzbor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paula-Lavinia Patranjan" <paula.patranjan@ifi.lmu.de> Sent: 18 April 2007 16:15 Subject: [InfoGathering] REASE repository of learning units > Hi, > > as shortly discussed during the today's telecon, REASE is a repository > comprising a collection of learning resources around Semantic Web > topics, such as presentations, videos or pointers to educational > activities.
