Ontological Framework for Semantic Web

Abstract

The web in today’s era is an remarkable triumph due to the proliferating number of users and sources of information. However, the increasing complexity of the web is not reflected in the present-day state of Web technology. The load of gaining access to, extracting relevant information, interpretation and upholding is left to the human (user end).The Semantic Web should structure the content of web pages so that information is also structured in well-defined manner. Ontology structuring techniques is good choice to structure and model problem. It provides proper conceptualization of a domain that is communal to group of people. Ontology is basically representation of domain based theory or information in view of their semantics. Thus ontology is basically a structure or framework which underlies and enables machine understanding. The paper discusses ontology in context of semantic web.
