Conceptual Foundations for the Scholarly Semantic Web: Requirements, Ontology, and Services

The Web has transformed the way new scholars are introduced to their domains via timely access to its literature. However, once that literature has been accessed, there is not as much support for carrying out analytical tasks such as determining the rhetorical stance of a
particular author in the scholarly domain. This paper presents work on an ontology-based approach to representing scholarly knowledge in order to support such analytical work. Here we describe how diverse research into argumentation, knowledge organization, and communities of practice has been used to ground the design of an ontology that enables novel kinds of services to be developed.

New Media Systems is...
Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.
Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.
Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
