That is the idea of having data on the web defined and linked in a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purpose, but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various application .The idea of the semantic is raised to overcome the limitation of the Web services such as Average WWW searches examines only about 25% of potentially relevant sites and return a lot of unwanted information, Information on web is not suitable for software agent and Doubling of size.

    Semantic Web Tools: An Overview 7th International CALIBER 2009 Semantic Web Tools: An Overview D Shivalingaiah Umesha Naik Abstract The WWW is the largest single information resource humanity. Unfortunately, despite its dependence on computers to operate at all, most of the information is only understandable by humans and not by computers. While computers can use the syntax of HTML documents to display in a web browser, Web computers can’t understand the content the semantics. Human beings are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the information. However, a computer cannot accomplish the same tasks without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by public, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that public can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web. The paper emphasizes the semantic tools available.

Abstract RDF is a framework to publish statements on the web about anything. It allows anyone to describe resources, in particular Web resources, such as the author, creation date, subject, and copyright of an image. Any information portal or data-based web site can be interested in using the graph model of RDF to open its silos of data about persons, documents, events, products, services, places etc. RDF reuses the web approach to identify resources (URI) and to allow one to explicitly represent any relationship between two resources.

  • Semantic Query Languages for Knowledge-Based Web Services in a Construction Context
    Extended Abstract - Semantic query languages for knowledge-based web services in a construction context Jeroen Werbrouck a,b , Madhumitha Senthilvel a, Jakob Beetz a, Pierre Bourreau c, Léon van Berlo d a RWTH Aachen University, Germany b Ghent University, Belgium c Institut pour la Transition Energétique Nobatek/Inef4, France d Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO, the Netherlands [email protected] 1. Introduction Building Information Modelling (BIM) has proven itself an extremely valuable asset for the construction industry, in terms of design, planning, rule checking and collaboration. However, a lot of fragmentation persists; each of the many stakeholders involved in a project has different methods and different software tools that need to exchange information. Conversion to standard exchange formats such as the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) enables such cross-domain communication only partly. Over recent years, the use of web technologies in the building industry has been gaining momentum, considered promising mechanisms for reaching a more interoperable BIM practice. Specifically, this relates to (1) cloud-based applications, and (2) Linked Data and Semantic Web technologies. Cloud-based initiatives for streamlining collaboration in building projects have known a long history. Spanning nearly two decades, they go from the (discontinued) frameworks in the early 2000s IMSvr (Hietanen, 2002) and BLIS/SABLE (BLIS-project, 2002; Kiviniemi et al., 2005) to the more recent and popular model server BIMserver (Beetz et al., 2010), and the recently introduced concept of “BIM bots” (van Berlo, n.d.). These projects are all based on collaboration and exchange through IFC. However, IFC only spans certain disciplines and offers limited interoperability with domains that are not covered in the schema.

  • Building Service Models and Architectures to Include Semantics and Social Networking
    Building Service Models and Architectures to include Semantics and Social Networking Nikolaos Loutas1, 2 1 University of Macedonia, Business Administration Department, 156 Egnatia str, Thessaloniki, 54006, Greece, [email protected] 2 National University of Ireland, Galway, Digital Enterprise Research Institute, IDA Business Park, Lower Dangan, Galway, Ireland, [email protected] Abstract. Currently thousands of services are available on the Web but the more services become available the harder it becomes to find and use them. Most of those services lack basic metadata that would improve their accessibility and discovery. In this work, we present a two-step approach for discovering services in the Web 2.0 environment. First, a formalized representation of the user’s need is created and then based on that the services that match this need are discovered. The approach tries to make the most out of the available state of the art Semantic Web technologies. We use SA-REST as the annotation mechanisms and try to harvest the knowledge that can be extracted from social tagging. Keywords: service model, web2.0, semantic web, portal, SA-REST, discovery 1 Introduction Since the 90’s when Web Services (WS) were first introduced, research in this field has always been particularly active. The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm [1, 2] is until today the prevalent way of building enterprise Information Systems (IS). SOA has become throughout the years both a very attractive research domain and a profitable business. Therefore, many major IT vendors such as IBM, Microsoft and SAP can be found among the key players. The main idea behind SOA is the ability to use, reuse and share services.

  • Discovering Resume Information Using Linked Data
    International Journal of Web & Semantic Technology (IJWesT) Vol.3, No.2, April 2012 DISCOVERING RESUME INFORMATION USING LINKED DATA Ujjal Marjit 1, Kumar Sharma 2 and Utpal Biswas 3 1C.I.R.M, University Kalyani, Kalyani (West Bengal) India [email protected] 2Department of Computer Sc. & Engg, University Kalyani, Kalyani (West Bengal) India [email protected] 3Department of Computer Sc. & Engg, University Kalyani, Kalyani (West Bengal) India [email protected] ABSTRACT In spite of having different web applications to create and collect resumes, these web applications suffer mainly from a common standard data model, data sharing, and data reusing. Though, different web applications provide same quality of resume information, but internally there are many differences in terms of data structure and storage which makes computer difficult to process and analyse the information from different sources. The concept of Linked Data has enabled the web to share data among different data sources and to discover any kind of information while resolving the issues like heterogeneity, interoperability, and data reusing between different data sources and allowing machine process-able data on the web. In this paper we present Linked Data approach to discover resume information enabling the task aggregation, sharing and reusing the information among different resume information providers and organizations. We also demonstrate experimental results on semantically rich resume information. KEYWORDS Semantic Web, Linked Data, Resume, Provenance 1. INTRODUCTION In the present day, the Web 2.0 mainly suffers from data sharing and reusing between two data sources. The Web 2.0 is basically a web of documents which is well formatted and presented inside the HTML documents but the semantic of data is missing due to which computer is unaware of what data or information is being presented inside the HTML documents.
