Abstract

This paper presents the design of a semantic system to index digital learning resources according to the metadata describing their cognitive features. By “cognitive feature” we mean the cognitive activities (e.g., reading, listening, body interactions, etc.) associated with the form of presentation (e.g., text, audio, image, etc.). The semantic system includes a parser, which detects the semiotic components of a resource, and two ontologies that formally describe the cognitive features and the semiotic descriptors, as well their association.
