Abstract:
The EC funded Share.TEC project aims to provide culturally
aware access to resources across Europe related to Teacher Education. The
semantic core of the system is the Teacher Education Ontology (TEO),
which not only supports the multilingual interface but also underpins
fundamental functionalities like searching and browsing. This paper
describes an approach that systematically reorganizes the structure of
TEO to leverage the existing multicultural dimension. Special attention
is focused on representing situations where the semantics of concepts do
not map completely across cultures.
