Aplicación de tecnologías semánticas y minería de textos para la comparación de sílabos entre distintas Universidades

Abstract

Nowadays, the IES (by its acronym in spanish “Instituciones de Educación Superior”) from Ecuador manage the academic content information of the co-llege subjects, by using a syllabus computing system. In this system they have with different heterogeneity levels of data (e.g., not-structured data, differents formats). This heterogeneity produces troubles at the time of carrying out the undergraduate mobility, which difficult the college subjects homologation, be-cause it is done in totally manual form, so that it can cause mistakes in the homologation process.

To solve the problem above mentioned, in this work we propose the utiliza-tion of Web Semantic technologies for the creation of a syllabus ontology, the ontology will be instantiated of data that reside on the University of Cuenca information systems and saved in a repository. Subsequently, on this repository we will apply text mining techniques with the target of identify similarities on the academic content of several syllabus, so that we automate the process of syllabus comparison for the undergraduate mobility and minimizing mistakes in in the process.
