Beyond Ontoolsearch...

The GSIC group keeps working on supporting educators to find suitable tools by means of semantic searches. A new infrastructure, called SEEK-AT-WD, has been built to obtain tool descriptions from the Web of Data following a Linked Data approach. In addition, U-SEEK has been developed as a new search client based on Ontoolsearch that retrieves data from SEEK-AT-WD. For more information:

• You can browse the SEEK-AT-WD dataset
• You can use U-SEEK to discover tools from the Web of DAta
