Interoperability between the new open e-learning platforms: an intelligent answering machine

Nowadays, all of us know that interoperability is a very important issue in the e-learning research area, due to the importance of being able to share contents and knowledge from one e-learning platform to another. Mostly, the efforts are focussed on creating and using standards to allow the mentioned content sharing, as XML, SCORM, etc. In our organization we are also interested in another issue related with interoperability: sharing the knowledge of e-learning platforms in a transparent way, due to the fact that sometimes a student in a platform require information hosted in another platform or knowledge source. To get this goal we are involved in the creation of a new tool capable of accessing to the content of several e-learning platforms, allowing a student to use one platform to access transparently to the knowledge hosted in another platform.
