Abstract

We present new ways of detecting semantic relations between learning resources, e. g. for recommendations, by only taking their usage but not their content into account. We take concepts used in linguistic lexicology and transfer them from their original field of application, i. e. sequences of words, to the analysis of sequences of resources extracted from user activities. In this paper we describe three initial experiments, their evaluation and further work.
