Abstract

This paper proposes a way to bring a synergy in education through an analysis of co-relationships and each advantage between ontology and concept map. Specifically this paper shows on how a concept map agent translates an individualized English vocabulary ontology into a customized concept map effectively. In the proposed system, the translation is processed by the concept map agent, which uses an ontology to reconstruct English vocabulary properties, extracts the learning contents from the ontology, and then displays the analyzed results directly through the user interface in a graphical form of concept map. In addition, the agent automatically links previously learned English vocabularies systematically and helps learners learn English vocabularies by making relations among them based on constructivism so that learners escape from memorizing each word separately without knowing relations among words.
