Abstract
Web 2.0 Applications have gained much power and usability in the last years. A particular case is medicine Web sites, like forums, wikis, and others. In most cases, these sites provide general information without making contact with the physicians. On other side, the CDSS (Clinical Decision Support Systems) are very useful applications, and many of them are ontology based. In this chapter, the authors propose a social Web application that allows patients to make contact with their physicians through a CDSS list of signs. This application combines social Web, CDSS, and Web services.

Applying Learning Object Libraries in K-12 Settings
A knowledge base is a database that is used to manage knowledge. The information in the knowledge base can be accessed using logical operators to determine appropriate retrieval items. Often a knowledge base uses an ontology or data model to define its classification scheme. As applied here, the knowledge base is a highly contextualized set of classifications and relationships related to a focused core of content knowledge.
