Abstract: Heidrun Allert's paper is, at least for this reader, a very interesting contribution to the debate over the future of the semantic web from an educational perspective. The main contribution is a proposal for a new form of metadata relating to the notion of a "Learning Role" which is used to provide a way of avoiding the static nature of many schemes for describing ontological structures. This is a constructive approach to a somewhat difficult situation in the world of educational metadata. At the very least, the proposal deserves to be fleshed out into a more substantial proposal and discussed by various interested parties.
