This chapter emphasizes integration of Semantic Web technologies in intelligent learning systems by giving a proposal for an intelligent learning management system (ILMS) architecture we named Multitutor. This system is a Web-based environment forth development of e-learning courses and for the use of them by the students. Multitutor is designed as a Web-classroom client-server system, ontologically founded, and is built using modern intelligent and Web-related technologies. This system enables the teachers to develop tutoring systems for any course. The teacher has to define the metadata of the course: chapters, the lessons and the tests, the references of the learning materials. We also show how the Multitutor system can be employed to develop learning systems that use ontologically created learning materials as well as Web services. As an illustration we describe a simple Petri net teaching system that is based on the Petrinet infrastructure for the Semantic Web.

Personalization techniques provide optimized access to content and services, based on the preferences and the characteristics of each individual user. Nowadays many applications, either Web-based or not, call for personalized behavior. Obviously, such behavior leads to an increased demand for knowledge management, since personalization is based on user profiles, user preferences, usage policies, and other knowledge components. The main topic of this chapter is the investigation of how well Semantic Web technologies apply to personalized applications. Semantic Web is a relatively new platform for developing (distributed) knowledge-based applications that has gained great popularity in previous years. Hence, this chapter surveys the most prominent techniques for personalization in the context of the Semantic Web. It discusses and compares different approaches to architectural and engineering techniques and other issues relevant to this hot topic. The chapter provides foundational knowledge on this topic, as well as discussion on some key implementation issues.

Employee Competencies

Efficient competence management is essential in knowledge-based companies. This chapter describes how the Semantic Web technologies can be used in managing employee competencies. Applying the Semantic Web technologies in the competence management enables building systems that support highly dynamic environments, are extensible as well as interoperable between different application domains, and benefit from the use of machine-accessible semantics. Competence management systems should be available not only for managers, but for all the employees of the company. As companies get larger, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage the knowledge and competencies that their employees have. Utilizing the Semantic Web opens many possibilities for building flexible systems for competence management.
