Application of the Semantic Learning Approach in the Feasibility Studies Preparation Training Process

Abstract The present paper is concerned with an ontology-based knowledge network developed for the semantic representation of the feasibility studies preparation procedure. Specifically, a training scenario in feasibility studies and business plan preparing was built, using the CULTOS tools that are based on a self-contained reusable knowledge repository, which combines the ontology constructs with supportive multimedia objects. The proposed approach may have significant impact to enabling users participate actively in the feasibility studies preparing process since they are equipped with an appropri-ate tool for acquiring a clear and an in depth understanding of this process. Through the present applica-tion, it seems that the model could combine any existing multimedia material with ontology constructs, using knowledge-based multimedia authoring tools, in order to build user-training scenarios and satisfy specific training needs.
