چکیده (انگلیسی):

Ontology has the potential to structure domain knowledge and
formally represent the knowledge in a more precise, explicit, consensusbased
and meaningful manner. However, to our knowledge, none have
made an effort to integrate forum discussion with subject module
knowledge into ontologies to enhance learning of the subject taught. As
such, it is the interest of this paper to reuse, classify, integrate and
semantically organize both of this knowledge by means of ontological
structure. Thus, detail of the ontology development process is presented
consisting of two main phases: Namely knowledge acquisition (from
both the subject module and forum discussion) and knowledge
modeling. The resulting ontology was evaluated via the use of a
prototype, a concept annotation task and questionnaires. Findings indicate
that the proposed ontology model is sufficient to accommodate learning
needs according to the assessment of experts.
