Babylon & ONtology: Multilingual and cognitive e-Learning Management System via PDA phone
BONy is a cognitive e-Learning Management System (eLMS) allowing users to find and to learn the units strictly requested and necessary to achieve their training experience. BONy supplies a multilingual access to information. This involves an ontological approach to knowledge and an interconnection among formative contents and interactive multimedia thanks to the semantic web methodology. BONy e-learners’ community will interact using a PDA phone, in order to produce the first in-site content management system which will change the user’s perspective on learning.
BONy is a social network where users can play a double role of students and/or teachers according to their skills and requirements, therefore being able both to satisfy their formative needs and to share their professional and linguistic expertise. At the same time, BONy intends to provide a social network experts fully dedicated to the European cooperation in the domains of research and project management.

The project was submitted under the programme “Preparatory Actions in the field of Sport - Health and physical activity” by Spanish coordinator, Regional Ministry of Youth and Sport-Regional Government of Extremadura.
Brief Decription
S²-PORT will develop a holistic methodology that can easily be adapted and implemented by different public authorities, and increase the level of awareness. It will support networking and exchange of relevant practices between the relevant actors in the field of healthy and active ageing, i.e., the sport sector and other civil society organisations, public authorities (regional and local) in order to strengthen the contribution of the sport sector to healthier lifestyles.
Focus of the Project
Physical activity confers immediate and long-term physiological and social benefits for certain conditions associated with old age. There is increasing evidence of its potential contribution towards maintaining mobility and independence in later life, enhancing positive images of successful ageing. It is a key importance to promote measures that increase the number of healthy and functional life years as well as the quality of life for senior citizens.
Objectives
- Joint reflection to design a holistic methodology to introduce physical activity as a new lifestyle to prevent disease
- Identification of relevant practices in the use of sport for prevention and healthy aging
- Development of a Holistic Methodology based on Sportive practices as a substitute palliative care
