The invention provides a semantic prefetching system and a semantic prefetching method for resource cloud storage in the educational field. The system comprises a user interface module, a request control module, a cloud storage module, a buffer management module, a replica management module and a prefetching module. The method comprises the following steps: user requests concept acquisition, concept set topic relevance judgment, candidate center concept selection, center concept determination, prefetch object determination, prefetch storage target node determination, prefetch window size and topic relevance maintenance, conversion, disappearance and stopping prefetching. Aiming at the shortcomings of the cloud storage method in the education field, the invention combines the characteristics of the education resources to form a specific education cloud storage system.
