Semantic Technologies

CETIS activities in the domain of semantic technologies currently focus on the potential benefits and affordances of these technologies to the teaching and learning sector. Given that semantic technologies have the unique ability to dynamically describe complex and evolving concepts, resources and relationship one would expect these technologies to be highly applicable to the domain of teaching and learning. To date however semantic technologies have not been widely employed to support the process and practice of teaching and learning. CETIS aims to identify applications of semantic technology within the teaching and learning domain, explore the educational potential of emergent technologies such as linked data and inform JISC and the UK F/HE community of potentially relevant developments in this field.

This work relates to the Learning Resources and Activities area of the JISC eLearning Programme.

Text and Data Mining workshop, London 21 Oct 2011
21 Oct 2011 Phil Barker
There were two themes running through this workshop organised by the Strategic Content Alliance: technical potential and legal barriers. An important piece of background is the Hargreaves report. The potential of text and data mining is probably well understood in technical circles, and were well articulated by JohnMcNaught of NaCTeM. Briefly the potential lies in [...]

Betweenness Centrality - helping us understand our networks
30 Aug 2011 Sheila MacNeill
Like many others I'm becoming increasingly interested in the many ways we can now start to surface and visualise connections on social networks. I've written about some aspects social connections and measurement of networks before. My primary interest in this area just now is more at the CETIS ISC (innovation support centre) level, and to [...]

Testing Caprét
17 Aug 2011 Phil Barker
I’ve been testing the alpha release of CaPRéT , a tool that aids attribution and tracking of openly licensed content from web sites. According to the Caprét website. When a user cuts and pastes text from a CaPRéT-enabled site: The user gets the text as originally cut, and if their application supports the pasted text will also [...]
