Abstract

This paper describes how ontologies can be used to model, validate and execute IMS Learning Design. Concretely, we propose an IMS LD ontology, which covers both IMS LD level A and level B, and explain how it was developed and then used during the IMS LD document life cycle. The main contribution can be summarized as follows: (1) the formalization of the implicit knowledge found on the IMS LD specification in terms of formal axioms, (2) their use to validate IMS LD documents, and (3) and a learning design translator to translate representations between XML Schema and F-Logic.
