“…An early approach to utilization of Semantic Web technology in PLE is found in Henze, Dolog, and Nejdl () who propose a framework for personalizing e‐learning through the use of ontologies and metadata‐markup of domains and users. In Huang, Liu, Tang, and Lu () focus has shifted towards supporting learning paths and experiences through automatic recommendation of learning content suited for the individual learner. They facilitate this automatic process with a system using three ontologies, which match data about what the authors characterize as the learners’ current knowledge and progress with courses and learning objects.…”

This paper presents a systematic literature review of research focused on use of Semantic Web technologies in formal educational contexts. Through systematic search, the review has identified 199 research articles, which are examined with the intention of identifying prevalent themes within the body of research within the field of formal educational use of Semantic Web technologies. The themes identified by the review are: (1) Semantic Web ontologies; (2) Efficient distribution, accessibility, retrieval, reuse and combination of educational resources; (3) Linked Data; (4) Semantic Web enhanced virtual learning environments and personalization of learning environments; (5) Semantic Web learning objects; (6) Evaluation, feedback and assessment; (7) Semantic Web services; (8) Pedagogical tools for teachers and students. Furthermore, this review seeks to examine how these themes and the use of Semantic Web technologies in formal education reflects on the ongoing discussion of how pedagogy and technology should interact. The outset of this discussion is a previous study by Dirckinck‐Holmfeld, which establishes that there is a tendency to emphasize technology over pedagogy in educational design and development.
