Abstract
This document contains a short summary about a research project done in the Unit of Virtual Teaching of the
Educational Science Institute at University of Lleida (UdL). The study is based on using faceted browsers to
organize a repository of learning objects.
The project, which is in an initial phase, consists of tagging materials that have been developed by the Unit of
Virtual Teaching using some teaching material from university professors. We have used Learning Object
Metadata (LOM) to describe the learning objects.
Moreover, we have applied a soft named Exhibit. It is a tool that allows us to create a faceted browser using
elements of LOM data model as facets. Exhibit lets us import data from Google Docs (spreadsheet), so we can
easily change data in the spreadsheet and the new data is represented in facets.
The aim of this project is to provide a semantic browser to search contents in our repository for the university
community, especially teachers, so that they can find resources adapted to their specific needs.
