Abstract

The World Wide Web hosts vast repositories of information. The retrieval of required information from the Internet is a great challenge since computer applications understand only the structure and layout of web pages and they do not have access to their intended meaning. Semantic web is an effort to enhance the Internet, so that computers can process the information presented on WWW, interpret and communicate with it, to help humans find required essential knowledge. Application of Ontology is the predominant approach helping the evolution of the Semantic web. The aim of our work is to illustrate how Swoogle, a semantic search engine, helps make computer and WWW interoperable and more intelligent. In this paper, we discuss issues related to traditional and semantic web searching. We outline how an understanding of the semantics of the search terms can be used to provide better results. The experimental results establish that semantic search provides more focused results than the traditional search.
