%0 Journal Article %T Ontology: A Support Structure for a V-Labs Network: Euronet-Lab %A Raul Cordeiro Correia %J International Journal of Online Engineering (iJOE) %D 2012 %I Kassel University Press %R 10.3991/ijoe.v8is3.2257 %X Our propose is to build a network of virtual laboratories, based in a Virtual Closet that will contain all the elements and parts that are needed to build the various experiences available in a v-labs network (that we call Euronet-Lab). To build this complex network we need to find a system that supports effectively this structure. This probably will be a enormous database of v-labs and independent elements, where will be possible sometimes to ¡°recycle¡± some of the elements. This means ¡°re-use¡± the same element several times in many experiences. To do this is necessary to have a structure that allows us to have several instances of the same element. It¡¯s important that in our structure and virtual environment we can create several ¡°images¡± of the same reality and this images can be used simultaneously in different circuits/experiments. This means that we can create several instances of the same element, to be used in different experiences and exercises. %K Virtual Labs %K CMS %K Ontology %K Remote Laboratory. %U http://www.online-journals.org/index.php/i-joe/article/view/2257
