%X Nowadays, the web has become an important learning platform. Its accessibility has   made it a successful environment particularly for eLearning education. However, the   emerging technology of the Semantic Web sets out challenges that need to be explored   in bringing the eLearning platform to the next level. This paper discusses the potential   of semantic technology for supporting learning content in the eLearning environment. A   conceptual model is referred to present the idea of learning content development   through semantic web technology in the educational context. Furthermore, the   ontological development model describes the process involved in building concepts and   ontologies from learning content.
