Abstract

This research describes the form and function of a mapping ontology created to translate between a central subject ontology and a local subject ontology. An implemented case shows how the mapping ontology can allow teachers working with the British Columbia Ministry of Education science curriculum to search, evaluate, and register learning objects catalogued in a repository (eLera) according to a modified form of Dewey Decimal Classification. A usability survey found that users prefer subject search (with ontology mapping) over keyword search.
