Semantic web is an extension of the World Wide Web (WWW) which makes the machine to understand the content of the web. The main idea behind the semantic web is to share the interlinked documents over Internet in a meaningful way. Web contents are created and designed to be read by humans that may not be understood by computer programs. Thus, they fail to communicate with each other. Semantic web brings the web structure to meaningful form of information. This article describes building blocks, several tools and techniques to implement a killer application on the semantic web.

The Web

Currently, systems dedicated to information retrieval/extraction perform an important role on fetching relevant and qualified information from the World Wide Web (WWW). The Semantic Web can be described as the Web’s future once it introduces a set of new concepts and tools. For instance, ontology is used to insert knowledge into contents of the current WWW to give meaning to such contents. This allows software agents to better understand the Web’s content meaning so that such agents can execute more complex and useful tasks to users. This work introduces an architecture that uses some Semantic Web concepts allied to Regular Expressions (REGEX) in order to develop a system that retrieves/extracts specific domain information from the Web. A prototype, based on such architecture, was developed to find information about offers announced on supermarkets Web sites.

Do So

Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), states that, “The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation” (Berners-Lee, 2001). The Semantic Web will bring structure to the meaningful content of Web pages, creating an environment where software agents, roaming from page to page, can readily carry out sophisticated tasks for users. The Semantic Web (SW) is a vision of the Web where information is more efficiently linked up in such a way that machines can more easily process it. It is generating interest not just because Tim Berners-Lee is advocating it, but because it aims to solve the problem of information being hidden away in HTML documents, which are easy for humans to get information out of but are difficult for machines to do so. We will discuss the Semantic Web here.

The World Wide Web (WWW, Web, or W3) is known as the largest accessible repository of human knowledge. It contains around 3 billion documents, which may be accessed by more than 500 million worldwide users. In only 13 years since its appearance in 1991, the Web suffered such a huge growth that it is safe to say there is no phenomenon in history that can compare to it. It reached such importance that it became an indispensable partner in the lives of people (Daconta, Obrst & Smith, 2003).

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a number of recent studies in French morphology which make extensive use of data. These data relating to derived words have been automatically collected from digital corpora, mostly from the Web. The main point developed here is that this massive increase in the amount of available data can substantially modify the results of a morphological study, and can lead to new theoretical conclusions that would not have been possible with traditional data such as wordlists gathered from dictionaries. However, using the Web as a corpus brings up several technical and methodological questions, which are dealt with through examples and discussions about the different tools and techniques available. We exemplify our thesis through the study of the suffixal forms: -esque, -este, -able, -ment.

Selection Of

The World Wide Web is nowadays the most famous and widespread information system. Its success is witnessed by its enormous size and rate of growth: however, the same success of the Web has brought to a situation where more sophisticated techniques are urgently needed to properly handle this mass of information. In this sense, the more ambitious plan for an evolution of a Web is the so called Semantic Web, envisioned by the inventor of the Web itself, Tim Berners-Lee. In this architectural vision, there is the need for further layers of semantics, properly enriching the data that now overflow the classic Web: ontologies, rules, logic, proofs, trust are all ingredients of this ambitious picture. Given these premises, it should not come as a surprise the fact that this evolution is bringing the Web closer and closer to another field, that since quite some time has been facing similar problems of logical organization of knowledge: logic programming. Early examples, like the Metalog system in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), had shown that connecting logic programming and the Semantic Web was quite a natural and fruitful step: and in fact, the burst of research in Semantic Web developments has eventually started to touch, connect and reinterprete many topics that were and are mainstream of the logic programming area. We feel this is a necessary progression, as the Semantic Web, and more generally the Web of the future, has a lot to learn from research in the logic programming area. And, conversely, in these new scenarios there are lot of new applied problems that can be challenging and rewarding from a logic programming perspective. This calls for a tighter interaction between the Web and logic programming, which was the reason to motivate this special issue as well: gathering together a selection of the best contributions that could showcase the potential of the cross-breeding.

The Web information age has brought a dramatic increase in the sheer amount of information (Web content), in the access to this information (Web usage), and in the intricate complexities governing the relationships within this information (Web structure). Hence, not surprisingly, information overload when searching and browsing the World Wide Web (WWW) has become the plague du jour. One of the most promising and potent remedies against this plague comes in the form of personalization. Personalization aims to customize the interactions on a Web site, depending on the user’s explicit and/or implicit interests and desires.

In the present day scenario the World Wide Web (WWW) is an important and popular information search tool. It provides convenient access to almost all kinds of information – from education to entertainment. The main objective of the chapter is to retrieve information from websites and then use the information for website quality analysis. In this chapter information of the website is retrieved through web mining process. Web mining is the process is the integration of three knowledge domains: Web Content Mining, Web Structure Mining and Web Usage Mining. Web content mining is the process of extracting knowledge from the content of web documents. Web structure mining is the process of inferring knowledge from the World Wide Web organization and links between references and referents in the Web. The web content elements are used to derive functionality and usability of the website. The Web Component elements are used to find the performance of the website. The website structural elements are used to find the complexity and usability of the website. The quality assurance techniques for web applications generally focus on the prevention of web failure or the reduction of chances for such failures. The web failures are defined as the inability to obtain or deliver information such as documents or computational results requested by web users. A high quality website is one that provides relevant, useful content and a good user experience. Thus in this chapter, all areas of website are thoroughly studied for analysing the quality of website design.

The Web

In less than a decade, the World Wide Web has become popular because of the depth of information it provides and the simplicity of its usage by simple clicks through related and interlinked pages. However, the amount of information and the numerous formats in which it is presented are simply overwhelming, and it is not uncommon to get overloaded with irrelevant or unrelated information. For example, a simple search task of finding books written by an author named David Flower would fetch hundreds of pages that merely contain the words David and/or Flower. The Web contains information on millions of Web pages interwoven by the use of hyperlinks and presented in rich HTML (hypertext markup language) formats, such as images, graphics, audio, and video. This rich presentation capability makes the Web highly readable for humans, but adds no meaning to the information when read by computers. The Semantic Web, which is considered to be the next evolution of the current Web, would qualify information with well-defined meaning. This added meaning to data, called metadata, would enable computers and people to work in cooperation (Hendler, Berners-Lee, & Miller, 2002). In addition to having hyperlinked pages containing media objects, the Semantic Web will also contain resources pointing to real-world objects such as people, places, organizations, and events. These objects will be linked based on their real-world relationships. Another goal of the Semantic Web is to develop enabling standards and technologies designed to help machines understand more information on the Web so that they can support richer discovery, data integration, navigation, and automation of tasks (Berners-Lee, Hendler, & Lassila, 2001). The current Web has the potential of becoming the largest database system, but it suffers from its foundation as a presentation media. This article addresses issues involved in effectively storing and managing data on the Web and focuses on various research activities in this direction. The Semantic Web is a vision that will extend the current Web to give well-defined meaning to information, enabling computers and people to work in better cooperation. A collaborative effort between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and a large number of researchers and industrial partners is defining standards and technologies required for building the Semantic Web. This effort will enable data to be understood by machines and will be used for effective discovery, automation, integration, and reuse across applications.
