The role of continuing education and lifelong learning is becoming still more important as the fast development of technologies requires specialized skills that need to be renewed frequently. eLearning adopts well for continued education as it can be done in parallel to other work. However, in the context of continuing professional education building a personal curriculum is not just straightforward as there are several educational institutions that provide various courses and there are no unified ways of representing the content of the courses. We have investigated this problem in pharmacies where the building of personal curricula is dictated by regulations that are set by health care authorities. In particular, we have investigated how the educational information that is received from a variety of sources and that is in a variety of format can be managed in building personal curricula. The key idea in our developed solution is the learning object ontology, which is integrated with the pharmacy ontology. In this way the educational information can be stored in pharmacy's knowledge base that provides sophisticated ways for accessing educational information. The technologies we have used in implementing the pharmacy ontology are RDF and OWL.
