Motivation & Research Problem
• Game-based assessment application that
can automatically extract data from OERs
and generate customised educational
games.
• Annotate the OERs
• Reuse, repurpose and interoperate the
OERs to generate the assessment.

Semantic Web
Semantic Web is a web of, which “is not a separate
Web but an extension of the current one, in which
information is given well-defined meaning, better
enabling computers and people to work in
cooperation”.
• URI
• RDF
• Schema/Vocabulary/Ontology
• Linked Data
• DBpedia Project
• Linked Open Data Project

Knowledge Point
“A knowledge point refers to an independent,
completely expressed, and independently
usable declarative or procedural knowledge
entity such a fact, a term, a concept, a theorem,
or an algorithm etc.”
• Knowledge Point is a set of entities from
the LOD and their relationship.
