TKVM: A method and tool for school web sites knowledge cartography

Abstract

In this article, we propose a new method TKVM (Teacher's Knowledge Visualization Method) to map school teachers' knowledge by using their school website content. We use then this generated knowledge to create knowledge-driven cartographies. School websites are essential to share information and data between users, but the knowledge contained in these websites are often informal and difficult to locate. This is due to the large amount of existing pages which make navigation more complex. Then, to simplify knowledge localization, we map the school website content and generate ontology-driven visual cartographies where users can find the school teachers' skills and knowledge. Our automatic method and tool enables us to process a large collection of web pages in a short time. Our method comprises four steps: data preparation, ontology domain construction, mapping and visualization.
