This chapter proposes TM and XTM as a knowledge representation system to be exploited in e-learning environments

Topic Maps™ are an ISO standard whose aim is describing knowledge structures and associating them with information resources. XML Topic Maps (XTM) is an XML-based encoding scheme to represent topic maps and similar knowledge structures. In this poster, TM and XTM are proposed as a knowledge representation system to be exploited in e-learning environments for a suited integration with semantic web technologies. They may be a useful tool to facilitate the design of learning contents and their delivery in different contexts.
