“…Physical learning resources, it is characterized by as physical spaces that the learners can touch (Temple & Fillippakou, 2007;Wall, 2016;Fernández-Pampillón, 2017). The management of physical learning resources must include a consideration of the context of the career pathways, working environment of the aging workforce learners in each group, which can be divided into 5 categories as follows:…”

This research aims to develop the models of Virtual Learning Resource Center (VLRC) for the digital manpower. The results of the research are that: 1) The VLRC development process consists of 5 steps: requirements analysis, planning and designing, prototyping and testing, implementing and monitoring, and evaluation and reporting. 2) The VLRC for the digital manpower consists of two models: 2.1) the physical learning resource, which is a physical space that the learner can actually touch. It can be divided into 5 categories: location-based learning resources, human-based learning resources, material-based learning resources, equipment-based learning resources, and event-based learning resources; and 2.2) the digital learning resource, which is a virtual space that learners can access through information and communication technology tools. It can be divided into 5 categories: search engine and translator’s tools, management and storage tools, distance learning tools, content creation, presentation and dissemination tools, social networking and online learning communities’ tools. 3) The goals of VLRC development are learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, and learning to be.

“…However, metadata specifications are not the only instrument used to search for and recover resources [15]. Another mechanism used is classification systems [16], from the most rudimentary, based on controlled vocabularies, to taxonomies or thesauri [17]. A controlled vocabulary consists of a set of words that are used to characterise a resource.…”

The number of digital resources that exist in repositories and on the Internet in general is enormous. Recovering resources that fit with the user’s specific needs poses a problem. To solve this problem, metainformation is added to the resources. One type of metainformation is the classification of a resource using a classification system that is widely recognised and agreed upon by its users. In this way, each resource is assigned a precise place within the classification system, thus facilitating its location. This article proposes a taxonomy for the classification of the resources (notes, exercises, exams or programmes that could be stored within a digital repository) that are generated within the scope of a Mathematical Logic course for a computer science degree programme. It also describes how to represent the proposed taxonomy using the IMS-VDEX standard and how to integrate it in the LOM and Dublin Core metadata specifications and proposes a set of controlled vocabularies that make it possible to refine the taxonomic metainformation.

“…The paper entitled "The role of e-vocabularies in the description and retrieval of digital educational resources" [7] aims to provide an overview of how e-vocabularies are used to index, describe, classify and retrieve digital educational resources. The article describes what vocabularies are, how they are used, how they work, and what they contribute to retrieving digital educational resources.…”

A vocabulary is a linguistic resource that helps manage, query and retrieve information and/or knowledge via words. If vocabularies are built and used in electronic format, they are referred as e-vocabularies. E-vocabularies have been used in Education to help teachers and students to, amongst many issues, (1) comprehend and relate the concepts and the objects of a given knowledge domain; (2) understand and learn languages, be they specialized or not; and (3) identify, describe and query knowledge and digital educational resources. Despite its utility, it is in this field where vocabularies seem to be less systematically developed, known, studied, analyzed, compared and/or linked. For this reason, we thought it was an opportunity to edit a dedicated volume with real experiences concerning the construction, use and evaluation of electronic vocabularies relating to education, and their application to the Internet and e-learning. The result is, finally, this Special Issue with five papers that represent part of the current state-of-the-art in the construction and use of e-vocabularies and education.Keywords: electronic vocabularies; education; e-learning; computational terminology; computational lexicography; digital educational resources A vocabulary is a linguistic resource that helps to manage, query, and retrieve information and/or knowledge through words (Boguraev, 1996) [1]. Some examples of vocabularies are (1) term lists; (2) glossaries; (3) classifications and taxonomies; (4) thesauri; (5) ontologies; (6) dictionaries; and (7) lexicons and lexical databases (CEN/CWA 14871:2003) [2]. All of them have been used in some way, so far, to structure knowledge in a flexible way for a number of tasks (e.g., natural language processing, conceptualization, document classification, indexing and information retrieval). The purpose of E-Vocabularies and E-learning is to find how lexicography, lexicology, terminology, and terminography have contributed and can continue to contribute to the improvement of education and e-learning. It is a difficult goal, mainly due to the specific nature of the topic and the lack of experience in joint work between specialists in these areas. However, we are persuaded that if lexical resources constitute one of the pillars of knowledge representation, their application to education constitutes a line of work that is worth exploring to improve current teaching and learning resources and strategies.With this aim in mind, five papers have been selected to be included in this issue. They approach four specific educational problems with use of e-vocabularies or with methodologies for the construction of e-vocabularies. Their quality and originality constitute a reference and an inspiration for the design of future projects that approach these or other problems in the intersection of Education and Lexicon.The first problem approached is the need, in Education, to standardise the terminology of subjects of study, particularly if teaching is provided in more than one language. In this ...
