Publication Abstract:
Program curricula in higher education institutions are generally designed to satisfy a set of national and international standards within a discipline. These standards vary from an established set of educational objectives and course learning outcomes to appropriate coverage of the required knowledge areas of the discipline. To ensure that a program satisfies requirement standards, it is imperative that a continuous cycle of review and assessment of the program takes place periodically. This cycle usually encompasses the gathering and manipulation of a large amount of data from several sources. In this poster, we present the CURONTO ontology, an OWL ontology developed to model the semantics of the curriculum domain in a way that facilitates curriculum review, assessment and development.
