Abstract

REASE, EASE's repository for Semantic Web learning units, is a unique repository containing a diverse set of learning resources, ranging from annotated slides to video recordings, and from one-hour tutorials to fully-fledged university courses, for both academic and industrial audiences. It aims to accommodate the heterogeneous requirements of different users trying to learn about the Semantic Web. This article provides an introductory description of REASE, and describes the lessons learnt while creating and designing the repository, based on a mixed-method evaluation involving actual REASE users, a clean-room evaluation, and usage statistics gained from a transaction log analysis.
