Abstract

A number of digital contents were produced on the Web. The Present Web focuses on the display of browsers on the basis of HTML. Although persons are able to understand the meaning of information on the web, machines (application systems) are not able to understand the meaning of information. According to Berners-Lee, the Semantic Web is an extension of the current web. The Semantic Web is based on machine-processable semantics of data. Its core technology is Ontology. So machines can read and process information. And Ubiquitous computing envisions a world of fully connected devices with wireless network everywhere. Ubiquitous services are dynamic rather than stationary. In order to provide dynamic, personalized, and intelligent web services, this study shows how Semantic Web technology can be integrated in an interoperable manner in the ubiquitous learning service.
