Social network data analysis is an important problem due to proliferation of social network applications, amount of data these applications generate and potential of insight based on this big data. The objective of present work is to propose architecture for a semantic web application to facilitate meaningful social network data analytics as well as answering query about concerned ontology. Proposed technique links, on one hand, tools based on semantic technology provided by social network applications with data analytics tools and on the other hand extends this link to ontology authoring tools for further inference. Results obtained from data analytics tool, results of query on generated ontology and benchmarking of the performance of data analytics tool are shown. It has been observed that a semantic web application utilizing above mentioned tools and technologies is more versatile and flexible and further improvements are possible by applying generic data mining algorithms to the above scenario.
