Construct an Intelligent Querying System in Education based on Ontology Integration

Abstract

E-learning is an online educational system using technological and electronic devices through the internet. Using e-learning educational systems, learners can refer to documents and communicate directly with teachers to effectuate the acquisition of knowledge. In this paper, the method for creating an intelligent querying system for e-learning is proposed. The knowledge base of this system is organized based on the integrating of ontology and the structure of database. Some searching issues for knowledge content, such as studying and resolving knowledge searches based on classification of knowledge, are studied and solved. This method is applied to build an intelligent querying system on the course of Database Foundation in Information Technology (IT) curriculum at university. This system aims to support students to review lessons and understand more the knowledge of courses by their self-learning. The experimental results show that it would be expected to contribute in supporting online-based learning facilities for students.
