One of the most fundamental components of an ITS is the student model, that contains all the information about a student such as demographic information, learning style and academic performance. This information enables the system to be fully adapted to the student. Our research work intends to propose a student model and enhance it with semantics by developing (or via) an ontology in order to be exploitable effectively within an ITS, for example as a domain-independent vocabulary for the communication between intelligent agents. The ontology schema consists of two main taxonomies: (a) student’s academic information and (b) student’s personal information. The characteristics of the student that have been included in the student model ontology were derived from an empirical study on a sample of students. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01521391/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01521391/file/978-3-642-33409-2_31_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01521391 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01521391 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-AIAI %~ IFIP-WG12-5 %~ IFIP-AICT-381
