Enormous amount of information is being produced every day and get consumed according to the needs of human being. Semantic web and ontology represent information which are machine processable and understand the semantics present among the entities. Ontology can be represented as Knowledge Organization and data modelling tool. Librarians are designated as “Information Custodian” or “Knowledge Keepers”. Implication and application of concepts in LIS can play big role in shaping knowledge-based services and mining and inferring them in better way in future. Ontology and semantic web is the future of LIS as speculated by several professionals and experts. This chapter would delineate a basic overview of Semantic Web, Ontology and linked data.

Abstract The advent of the Semantic Web and of the Linked Data initiative have contributed to new perspectives and opportunities regarding terminology work. Among them are the double dimension approach and the theoretical perspective of ontoterminology anchored therein, which explore the synergies resulting from the systematic organisation of both term systems and concept systems. By doing so, they provide a theoretical and methodological foundation underlying the creation of knowledge-based terminological products that can support the conception and development of different types of e‑dictionaries. Within that scope, and based on examples pertaining to two different subject fields, namely endometriosis and Islamic archaeology, this article aims to propose a framework for the creation of a terminological e-dictionary, defined as a reference resource in a specific domain that gathers, structures and describes linguistic data in a systematic way in one, two or more languages, in order to define concepts that are denoted by terms.

AbstractRecent advances in high-throughput technologies have resulted in a tremendous increase in the amount of omics data produced in plant science. This increase, in conjunction with the heterogeneity and variability of the data, presents a major challenge to adopt an integrative research approach. We are facing an urgent need to effectively integrate and assimilate complementary datasets to understand the biological system as a whole. The Semantic Web offers technologies for the integration of heterogeneous data and their transformation into explicit knowledge thanks to ontologies. We have developed the Agronomic Linked Data (AgroLD – www.agrold.org), a knowledge-based system relying on Semantic Web technologies and exploiting standard domain ontologies, to integrate data about plant species of high interest for the plant science community e.g., rice, wheat, arabidopsis. We present some integration results of the project, which initially focused on genomics, proteomics and phenomics. AgroLD is now an RDF (Resource Description Format) knowledge base of 100M triples created by annotating and integrating more than 50 datasets coming from 10 data sources –such as Gramene.org and TropGeneDB– with 10 ontologies –such as the Gene Ontology and Plant Trait Ontology. Our evaluation results show users appreciate the multiple query modes which support different use cases. AgroLD’s objective is to offer a domain specific knowledge platform to solve complex biological and agronomical questions related to the implication of genes/proteins in, for instances, plant disease resistance or high yield traits. We expect the resolution of these questions to facilitate the formulation of new scientific hypotheses to be validated with a knowledge-oriented approach.

Current multimedia applications in Web 2.0 have generated large repositories for multimedia resources and annotations, so there is an urgent requirement to interlink annotations of these resources across different repositories to achieve better indexing and searching. To solve this problem, many researchers have been trying to apply semantic Web technologies to media fragments and annotations. Linked data has brought forward a promising way to expose, index and search media fragments and annotations which used to be isolated in different applications. This paper discusses in depth three key research problems when applying linked data principles in multimedia annotations: choosing URIs for media fragments, dereferencing media fragments and ontology alignment. An architecture is designed based on the possible solutions of the research problems. The key idea of the architecture is that it should act like an extra layer built on top of existing applications when publishing linked data. A demo is built as an implementation of the architecture to show that media fragments can be published and linked to various datasets in the linked data cloud. In the future, some algorithms should be designed to make full use of the interlinked media fragments and annotations for indexing and searching.

As the amount of information in the world is growing very quickly, in the case of the semantic web this increasing amount of information is becoming more difficult to find and manage the exact answers to our various questions. To overcome these difficulties some systems have been developed that make it work for us. But there exists many challenges in developing these systems that require a lot of improvement. In this tutorial, we give a basic understanding of Semantic web, RDF triple, SPARQL query language. Here we will discuss the main obstacles for the QA system in processing the questions and a detailed survey of the existing systems. We also provide some advantages and disadvantages of existing QA systems. We also discuss the evaluation campaigns of the existing models based on their precision, recall and F-1 scores on the QALD dataset.

Innovation in education technology, under the influence of the modern information and communication complex, has allowed the development, modernization and rationalization of education, thus creating completely new paradigms in the field of knowledge transfer. New technologies provide efficient, diversified and autonomous access to knowledge, and this significantly changes the organization of the teaching or educational process as a whole. In addition, the complexity and multidimensionality of modern communication transmits the educational process into a simulated environment. By the way, the condition in such a way of simulated - virtual reality is interaction. Contemporary educational processes require new studies, as well as teaching and upbringing through modern means of communication and modern expression, which become an integral part of a specific and autonomous field of knowledge process in pedagogical theory and practice. The use of information and communication technologies in education is the future, which all speaks in favor of Serbian enlightenment and how they want new knowledge and discussion about how the future of the future will look. And exactly in this virtual space, outside the classroom, and actually in the classroom, the biggest changes are taking place. Because of the enormous amount of information from modern media (TV, radio, computer networks), the teacher of the future becomes more and more difficult to teach young people why it is important to be able to read, write. Indeed, the media, TV, radio, and computers were created by people with literacy skills, not people from the media. In order to filter the enormous amount of information that students will encounter inside and outside the school, using multimedia computer networks, the teacher of the future must act as a measure, perspective of the provider. The simplest way to provide this perspective in the context of a curriculum is to learn from where information came from: History of technology, history of science, history of mathematics, history of language, art history, history of history (including the history of the "future"!). In other words, regardless of the subject to be taught, the teacher will in the future have to give the students a sense of evolution of the subject in order to provide a reason for thinking in the continuous flow of information, not in parts. " The School of the Future will be moved from classrooms to parks and museums, students will learn to meditate, and the main assistant teachers will be artificial intelligence. It is time for pedagogy to catch up with technology. Since recently, computer networks are paradise literacy, the textual state is rapidly passing, and computer network research quickly moves to multimedia This means that digital images (moving images, audio, graphics) will become the biggest influence on these networks.

Facing the rapid changing world, concern on the future of the nation is increasing. This is due to the fact that a lot of practices in schools, families, as welf as in society do not conform with the etical conduct, moral, and good manner that are universially accepted by human being. Therefore, all people who concern on the future of the nation, especially educators, should aware of the importance of character education, in order to save the future generation from moral degradation. Related to the problem, this aims at trigerring the awareness of educator to the importance of character education, by discussing the conceptual meanings ( what, why, and how) of character education, then followed by the possibility for implementation, and ended with the implication on education and teacher education.

The stories in Qur'an are Allah’s decrees which convey more beau-tiful values beyond any religious text ever written. It is the holiest scripture and is written  in a wonderful, understandable, and attract-ive language humbly conveying a vast amount of information about life and events that happened in the past. It’s aim is to be an object of reflection for human beings living in this age and the future. Even more so, the stories in Al-Qur'an also entail an educative function providing learning materials,  and teaching methods, regarding the transformative power of Islam and the internalization of true religious values.
