Abstract
I (Terry) first became interested in the semantic web from reading
Berners-Lee's original works and following first generation developments
of semantic web technologies in information science, e-business and
health fields. I then began including the ideas in talks I gave at
various conferences and forums in 2003. Naturally, I became curious
about what other educators were doing with the semantic web and so
Googled the term, "education semantic web". Much to my surprise and
disappointment, I found that most of the references were to my own
admittedly introductory and visionary comments made in these speeches.
Where was the real work, innovation and actual prototype development?
Fortunately, we were able to locate this type of work and we believe
that most of the leading researchers in the area of the educational
semantic web have contributed to this special issue. Of course, if
we have missed your work, we welcome comments and URLs in the discussion
areas of the special issue.
