An Ontology and a Software Framework for Competency Modeling and Management
Educational Technology & Society, 10 (3):
1-21 (2007)Abstract
The importance given to competency management is well justified. Acquiring new competencies is the central
goal of any education or knowledge management process. Thus, it must be embedded in any software
framework as an instructional engineering tool, to inform the runtime environment of the knowledge that is
processed by actors, and their situation toward achieving competency-acquisition objectives. We present here
some of our results in the last 10 years that have led to an ontology for designing competency-based learning
and knowledge management applications. Based on this ontology, we present a software framework for
ontology-driven e-learning systems.
