A Cross-Curriculum Representation for Handling and Searching Dynamic Geometry Competencies
Abstract:
Interactive Geometry is becoming part of the curriculum in many European
countries; sharing the files of interactive geometry, the constructions,
is, however difficult because of the communities are scattered between
the many software systems and the many curriculum differences. The
Intergeo project addresses this issue by offering a platform where
cross-curriculum search and annotation can be done. The annotation
language is an ontology and is made easily accessible to users; this
ontology describes elementary competencies and topics and their
relationships. The search functions, the management, and the access are
all empowered by the semantic nature of this ontology together with the
various names attached to each ontology element. This paper describes
the ontology and the infrastructure that provides utility, usability,
and interoperability to this knowledge corpus.
