Abstract: The notion of competence and learner model is the kernel of the Competency-Based Approach (CBA). However, as of today there is not a commonly learner model or ontology for competencies, we have presented in this paper our ontology-based representation in order to define the CBA. This representation provides a baseline for an e-learning adaptive system in which we plan to implement individual learning through individualized learning paths and collaborative learning considering individuals as part of homogeneous groups.
