Abstract

Searching through the limitless amount of information and resources available on the web poses a serious problem of information overload. Knowledge and semantic technologies may offer a solution in this regard. This paper illustrates a methodology for user modeling that describes user profiles and backgrounds in the use of a semantic repository for Special Education called Knowledge Hub (KH). The main functionalities and resource categories of KH are described.knowledge by accessing, sharing and collaborating with others in knowledge development.
