Semantic Web technologies provide a semantic infrastructure that enables the enhancement of
organizational learning processes and mechanisms. Existing Semantic Web technology can be
applied to provide some degree of “intelligence” to existing search, location and targeting of
learning activities, among other processes. Assessment of such activities can also be mediated by
software that exploits shared knowledge representations in the form of ontologies. Nonetheless,
such enhanced processes are necessary but not sufficient for the ideal of a semantics-based
learning organization. The major requirements and challenges for the achievement of a Semantic
Learning Organization have been described, in an attempt to shape a research agenda that
integrates existing views on the “educational semantic web” with the organizational perspective.
