Construcción de un plugin Moodle para la clasificación temática de recursos Web

Abstract

Searching for information on the Internet is one of the basic tasks performed by users in the network. Due to the large amount and variety of digital resources and information, search engines are not always effective in selecting the most relevant or potentially useful contents for users. In large collections of documents, as in the case of university physical libraries, generally a group of experts makes the thematic classification of materials according to the disciplines of knowledge defined by a thesaurus. The organization according to themes or topics is fundamental so that the user can locate in a more agile the required information. In the present work, a Moodle plugin has been implemented to perform the thematic classification task, automatically, using a previously established knowledge base and design. The implemented plugin can be used by users of educational platforms such as Moodle to identify the disciplines of knowledge related to some resource of interest and depending on this information, determine if an academic material can be useful or not
