The document discusses the use of communication and computing technologies (CCTs) in school-based learning. It cautions against assumptions that more CCT use automatically improves education or that their educational uses are fully understood. Instead, it advocates for CCTs that support authentic, collaborative student work with real audiences, and incorporating social practices from outside school. Schools should be sites for knowledge production where contemporary technologies and cultures of use engage serious research. Learning should produce rather than just consume knowledge.
The document discusses the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) workshops in 2006 and 2007 that aimed to align the AGROVOC and NAL Agricultural Thesaurus (NALT) ontologies. In 2006, five systems participated to automatically align the ontologies and their results were evaluated by experts. The workshops found that topics like species names were easier to align automatically, while cultural concepts and notations were more difficult. The 2007 workshop continued evaluating alignments between AGROVOC-NALT and also tested AGROVOC-GEMET and NALT-GEMET alignments.
