This article discusses the possibilities of information technology in learning. The arguments are grounded on a recent research on students’ learning processes in new technologybased environment. The theoretical basis is derived from educational psychology and constructivist view on learning. The possibilites of technology in learning are considered in terms of motivation, social interaction, abstract understanding, the teacher’s role and students’cognitive processes. The conclusion is that new technology may provide interesting and powerful learning opportunities, but these should not taken for granted; teachers and learners need to know how to take advantage of them. Therefore, the theories of learning give us valuable information on how to develop more pedagogically relevant learning environments.

Library Classification And Its Development: A Study

Durante la decimotercera conferencia de la Sociedad Internacional para la Organizacion del Conocimiento (ISKO), celebrada en 2014 en Cracovia (Polonia), tuvo lugar una discusion sobre “El futuro de la Organizacion del Conocimiento”. Se presenta una sinopsis critica del panel desde la perspectiva de uno de los participantes. Los temas fundamentales fueron: ?Que es la organizacion del conocimiento? ?Cuales seran los retos mas sobresalientes para ISKO y la organizacion del conocimiento en el futuro? ?Cual es su imagen ideal de ISKO y la organizacion del conocimiento en el futuro. Se concluyo, entre otras cosas, que la organizacion del conocimiento es una disciplina de caracter general aplicable en muchas areas, aunque mayormente se percibe como una parte de la ciencia de la informacion y la biblioteconomia. Para mejorar su situacion es necesario abordar no solo sus fundamentos teoricos, sino tambien sus diversos campos de aplicacion, abriendose a nuevos objetos y metodos. La integracion de la diversidad cultural y semantica debe verse como un aspecto importante en una situacion politelica.

The purpose of this work is to find out how different library classification systems and linguistic ontologies arrange a particular domain of interest and what are the limitations for information retrieval. We use knowledge representation techniques and languages for construction of a domain specific ontology. This ontology would help not only in problem solving, but it would demonstrate the ease with which complex queries can be handled using principles of domain ontology, thereby facilitating better information retrieval. Facet-based methodology has been used for ontology formalization for quite some time. Ontology formalization involves different steps such as, Identification of the terminology, Analysis, Synthesis, Standardization and Ordering. Firstly, for purposes of conceptualization OntoUML has been used which is a well-founded and established language for Ontology driven Conceptual Modelling. Phase transformation of “the same mode” has been subsequently obtained by OWL-DL using Protégé software. The final OWL ontology contains a total of around 232 axioms. These axioms comprise 148 logical axioms, 76 declaration axioms and 43 classes. These axioms glue together classes, properties and data types as well as a constraint. Such data clustering cannot be achieved through general use of simple classification schemes. Hence it has been observed and established that domain ontology using faceted principles provide better information retrieval with enhanced precision. This ontology should be seen not only as an alternative of the existing classification system but as a Knowledge Base (KB) system which can handle complex queries well, which is the ultimate purpose of any classification system or indexing system. In this paper, we try to understand how ontology-based information retrieval systems can prove its utility as a useful tool in the field of library science with a particular focus on the education domain.
