Abstract: This paper gives an overview of MediBook, a joint project of the Medical Department of University Gießen (Germany) and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany) funded by the Hessian Ministry for Science and Arts (HMWK). The goal of the project is the enhancement of education in Medical Schools by means of a flexible system. The flexibility of the system aims at self-studying, independently from space and time. MediBook is a system which provides tools for storing, managing and especially locating and combining learning resources. It offers means for both describing single sources (thereby putting them into a context) and combining single resources to courses. Thus MediBook represents a knowledge base with efficient semantic access and tools to generate arbitrary coherent courses from single heterogenous information units.
