WP 4: Integration of Language Technology Tools into ILIAS Learning Management System Alexander Killing Review Meeting, Zürich, 25 January 2008
WP4 Tasks and Goals • Integration of LT4eL Tools developed by WP2 and WP3 into ILIAS LMS prototype. (D 4.1) • Develope and provide documentation for a standard-technology-based interface between the LT4eL Tools and any LMS. (D 4.1) • Goal: Simple-as-possible, well-documented and portable interface to foster re-use of the tools in other learning management systems.

General Web Service Operations • sendNewLO() • Send a new learning object (from lms) to the language technology server. • getStatus() • Get current input processing status of a learning object. • deleteLO() • Delete a learning object on the language technology server.
KWE/GCD Web Service Operations • findKeywordCandidates() • Generate list of keywords for a learning object. • sendApprovedKeywords() • Send user approved keywords back to language server. • findDefinitionCandidates() • Generate list of definitions for a learning object.
Search and Ontology Web Service Operations • search() • Ontology extended (multilingual) learning object search. • getConceptNeighbourhood() • Get concepts and relations of a given concept (e.g. enables ontology browsing).
