Abstract
Simulation Learning is a frequent practice to conduct near-real, immersive and engaging training sessions. AI Planning and Scheduling systems are used to automatically create and supervise learning sessions; to this end, they need to manage a large amount of knowledge about the simulated situation, the learning objectives, the participants’ behaviour, etc.
In this paper, we explain how Linked Data and Semantic Web technologies can help the creation and management of knowledge bases for Simulation Learning. We also present our experience in building such a knowledge base in the context of Crisis Management Training.
