Abstract: This paper discusses ontology-aware authoring tool for training systems. This tool uses the ontology as the source of its intelligence. The ontology plays the role of a meta-model which helps authors to construct a model. The major advantages of such an authoring tool are: (1) Providing human-friendly primitives (descriptiveness, readability). (2) Providing multiple-views of the single model of training. (3) Simulat-ing the abstract behavior of the model (conceptual level operationality). (4) Verifying the consistency of models. In this paper we discuss the roles of ontology in authoring tools focusing on (1), (2) and (3). In addition we exemplify the benefits of ontology by giving an overview of the authoring tool SmartTrainer/AT.
