Abstract

The increasingly popular Learning Object-based didactic approach has been investigated by considering related activities of the European Chemistry Thematic Network. Learning Objects specific interoperability and reusability properties have been considered for building a didactic-scientific repositories federation. For this reason international standards have been adopted to solve interoperability problems among the different computing elements of the adopted platforms and a module has been created to effectively manage taxonomy to classify Learning Objects via ontology-based criteria.
