The World Wide Web (WWW) is a critical source of information for healthcare. Because of this, systems for allowing increased efficiency and effectiveness of information retrieval and discovery are critical. Increased intelligence in web pages will allow information sharing and discovery to become vastly more efficient .The semantic web is an umbrella term for a series of standards and technologies that will support this development.

It is generally observed throughout the world that in the last two decades, while the average speed of computers has almost doubled in a span of around eighteen months, the average speed of the network has doubled merely in a span of just eight months! In order to improve the performance, more and more researchers are focusing their research in the field of computers and its related technologies. Internet is one such technology that plays a major role in simplifying the information sharing and retrieval. World Wide Web (WWW) is one such service provided by the Internet. It acts as a medium for sharing of information. As a result, millions of applications run on the Internet and cause increased network traffic and put a great demand on the available network infrastructure.

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.

Semantic Ontology

Ontology alignment is an important part in the semantic web to reach its full potential, Recently, ontologies have become competitive common on the World Wide Web where they generic semantics for annotations in Web pages, This paper aims at counting all works of the ontology alignment field and analyzing the approaches according to different techniques (terminological, structural, extensional and semantic). This can clear the way and help researchers to choose the appropriate solution to their issue. They can see the insufficiency, so they can propose new approaches for stronger alignment and also He determines possible inconsistencies in the state of the ontology, which result from the user’s actions, and suggests ways to remedy these inconsistencies.

This research presents the results of an analysis of 136 randomly selected AIS faculty from the Hasselback directory and their use of Web pages to provide instructional re-sources (e.g. materials that add value to a course. Results indicate that 43.4% of the AIS faculty have no web presence, and 56.6% have Web pages but the majority con-tain only biographical information as opposed to instructional resources. Overall, the results indicate a small majority of AIS faculty are providing Web-based instructional resources.

Question Answering is an area of information retrieval with the added challenge of applying sophisticated techniques to identify the complex syntactic and semantic relationships present in text in order to provide a more sophisticated and satisfactory response to the user’s information needs. For this reason, the authors see question answering as the next step beyond standard information retrieval. In this chapter state of the art question answering is covered focusing on providing an overview of systems, techniques and approaches that are likely to be employed in the next generations of search engines. Special attention is paid to question answering using the World Wide Web as the data source and to question answering exploiting the possibilities of Semantic Web. Considerations about the current issues and prospects for promising future research are also provided.

Resumo Neste trabalho é apresentada uma ontologia para modelar o domínio da Arquitetura da Informação para Web (AI para web), de acordo com os preceitos definidos por Morville e Rosenfeld no livro Information Architecture for the Word Wide Web, versão 2006. Objetiva-se estruturar o conhecimento relacionado ao domínio de AI para Web, formalizando o mesmo, bem como auxiliar o ensino dos conceitos e relacionamentos do domínio da área de AI para Web. A pesquisa realizada é de caráter teórico e qualitativo, e classifica-se como descritiva e exploratória. A modelagem foi realizada mediante a utilização da linguagem Ontology Web Language (OWL) e do framework Protégé 3.4.1, seguindo os passos da metodologia 101. Os resultados mostram a InfoArch, uma ontologia que representa os conceitos e relacionamentos, além de possibilitar responder a questionamentos sobre o domínio. Considera-se que InfoArch traz contribuições principalmente relativas as questões de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, pois servirá como fonte de informação para pesquisadores, professores e equipes de desenvolvimento de sites que trabalhem com Arquitetura da Informação para Web.Palavras-chave Arquitetura da Informação para Web; ontologia; desenvolvimento de site; web semânticaAbstract This paper presents an ontology to model the field of Information Architecture for Web (Web IA), according to the precepts defined by Morville and Rosenfeld in the book Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, version 2006. It aims to structure the related knowledge in the field of IA for the Web, formalizing this area and helping to teach the concepts and relationships in the domain of the IA for the Web. The research is theoretical and qualitative, and is classified as descriptive and exploratory. The modeling was performed using the language of Ontology Web Language (OWL) and the Protégé framework 3.4.1, by following the steps of the methodology 101. The results show the InfoArch, an ontology that represents concepts and relationships, and enables finding answers to questions about the area. It is considered that InfoArch brings contributions especially on issues of teaching, research and extension, and thus will serve as a source of information for researchers, teachers and staff of developing sites that work with Information Architecture for the World Wide Web.Keywords information architecture for the World Wide Web; ontology; site development; semantic web

From its explosive development in the last decade of the 20th century, the World Wide Web has become an ideal medium for dedicated sports fanatics and a useful resource for casual fans, as well. Its accessibility, interactivity, speed, and multimedia content have triggered a fundamental change in the delivery of mediated sports, a change for which no one can yet predict the outcome (Real, 2006). This commentary sheds light on a process in which the talk-back mechanism, which enables readers to comment on Web-published articles, is (re)shaping the sport realm in Israeli media. The study on which this commentary is based involved the comparative analysis of over 3,000 talk-backs from the sports sections of 3 daily Web news sites (Ynet, nrg, and Walla!). The argument is made that talkbacks serve not only as an extension of the journalistic sphere but also as a new source of information and debate.
