Abstract
The article discusses the application of digital libraries, including a network of ontologies and structured databases, in the education of students in secondary schools. The multi-agent platform of VES (the Virtual Educational Space) is presented, based on the reference architecture of ViPS (the Virtual Physical Space), which is being developed in the DeLC (the Distributed e-Learning Center) laboratory of the University of Plovdiv “Paisii Hilendarski”. The information and data in VES are supported by a hybrid structure of ontologies and databases, as the designed services are supported by intelligent agents and personal assistants. Through the interaction between these intelligent components, some functionalities are modeled such as conducting virtual excursions in the teaching of various school subjects, automatic generation of tests and surveys, development of project tasks, game-based training, etc.
