Abstract:
In the era of Web 3.0, there is an expansion of Online Educational Resources (OER) bringing
both advantages and challenges for students navigating the digital world. With the abundance
of available content, it can be difficult for students to find well-structured learning pathways
even though resources are becoming more accessible. This paper introduces an ontology that is
dedicatedly designed for educational content with the goal of improving discoverability align ing learning objectives with course content and providing a standardized representation frame work. By following the principles of the Semantic Web, this ontology captures relationships;
between courses, platforms, domains of interest, and market job requirements. Through the
use of SPARQL queries, we showcase how this ontology can be useful in addressing research
questions, such as finding courses that align with specific areas of interest or learning outcomes,
for incremental knowledge acquisition, and suggesting comprehensive learning paths for career
aspirations. . . .
