✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We describe a prototype for a multilingual semantic interface to the academic programs of a university. Navigating within a graph model of the academic disciplines and fields, the users are led to course and program documents. For core academic concepts, informational support is provided by language specific links to Wikipedia. The web‐based prototype is currently evaluated in a user study.
