Seminar: The Semantic Web -- Ontology-Supported Web Technology Speaker: Dr. Yoo Jung An Time: Wednesday 3/25/2009 12:30 – 1:30PM Location: Babbio 221
Abstract:
The Semantic Web is considered to be the third generation of the World-Wide Web. Its goal is to automate some of the activities that humans perform on the Web. For this purpose, the WWW is augmented with agent programs and ontologies. Ontologies are represented with standard languages such as RDF/OWL. In this talk we will review the basics of ontologies and the Semantic Web. A fruitful area of research is the interplay of the Semantic Web with what has become known as the Deep Web. The Deep Web consists of information in backend databases with Web frontends. We will present past research on automatically extracting ontologies for the Semantic Web from the Deep Web and on how to implement a semantic search engine. We have coined the name "Semantic Deep Web" for the combination of the Deep Web with the Semantic Web. Research plans for the future include building an ontology-enabled search engine on top of Google. seminar_03252009 |
