SEMANTIC WEB

Abstract:

The  web today  enables  people  to access  documents and services  on  the  Internet  but  today’s  methods  require human intelligence. The semantic  web augments  the  current web with  formalized knowledge  and well  formatted data thatcan be processed by computers. . The semantic web is a vision of information  that  is  understandable  by  computers,  so that  they can  perform  more of the tedious work involved in  finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web. Data that is generally hidden away in HTML files is often useful in some contexts,  but  there  is  no global  system  for  publishing data in such  a way  that  it  can  be  easily  processed by  anyone.  This makes Semantic Web a rational solution for the problem.. This will  enable  computers  to  assist  human  users  in  tasks and understand data the way they cannot today. The  layered  architecture  serves  as  the  basic  building block of  the  system  and supports  the  vision  of  a Web imbued with  meaning.  The  similarities  that  it  shares  with  the  object oriented programming language has  made  the  Unified Modelling  Language  usable  by  both  object-oriented Programming and semantic web development and the  Semantic Web  Browsers,  extend the  notion  of  the  Web browser  into  the Semantic Web. There will also be creation of more open market in  information  processing and computer  services  enabling the creation of new applications and services from combinations of existing service.

I.INTRODUCTION

Semantics is the study of meaning. It’s as old as the ancient Greeks.  For most  of  us  it was  a  deadly  dull  sub-discipline of philosophy, to be avoided. But it turns out that we can’t avoid  it. We are drowning in a sea of data which occasionally is generously referred to as “information.” But the  truth  is  that  almost  all  of  it  must  be  interpreted  by humans  to  be  of  any  use.  The  growth  and  availability of data  and,  therefore,  our  need  to  consider  it  in  decision-making  and  planning  is  growing  exponentially,  and  our systems, rather than    helping with this, are for the most part contributing to the problem.       The  Semantic  Web  is  a  web  that  is  able  to describe things  in  a  way  that  computers  can  understand.
