The team of Graz University of Technology (TUG) has given a short presentation on ROLE to invited guests on March 9 and 12, 2009. An overview, the project objectives, and the planned contribution of TUG were presented. The presentation was followed by an interesting discussion on the challenges of ROLE, especially if and how ontologies can be built in order to serve as basis for recommendations of learning tools and content resources. Peter Dolog pointed out that there are similarities to the idSpace research project.
