In this paper, we present the application of knowledge lattice approach in a Web-based courseware authoringsupport system.Knowledge lattice is widely known as ontology in Semantic Web environment.Onlotogy is a formal and declarative representation for knowledge. Knowledge is represented in the form of chunks in several layers. This approach is being used to develop Instructional Management Support System (IMSS).IMSS aims to support students, teachers, courseware developers, administrators, and parents. For example, it supports teachers by managing tasks such as monitoring progress and presenting subject content in a Web-based learning environment. Knowledge lattice is applied as the main interface to navigate the system modules. The lattice is used to represent the subject domain by linking the basic knowledge chunks to more advanced knowledge chunks.To further explain this approach, we define a set of functions related to each knowledge chunks.
