Abstract

The HermesWiki project is a semantic wiki application on Ancient Greek History. As an e-learning platform, it aims at providing students effective access to concise and reliable domain knowledge, that is especially important for exam preparation. In this paper, we show how semantic technologies introduce new methods of learning by supporting teachers in the creation of contents and students in the personalized identification of required knowledge. Therefore, we give an overview of the project and characterize the semi-formalized content. Additionally, we present several use cases and describe the semantic web techniques that are used to support the application. Furthermore, we report on the user experiences regarding the usefulness and applicability of semantic technologies in this context.
