This document provides an overview of semantic web technologies and their role in advancing digital library functions. It begins with definitions of semantic web, its main components like RDF, OWL and ontology. It then discusses functions of digital libraries like access to information, support for multimedia and advanced search. The key role of semantic web for digital libraries is described as representing various types of objects and relations between them to provide meaningful data that can be processed by computers. Technologies like XML, RDF and ontology help achieve this by annotating and describing data in a structured format. Finally, semantic web allows for improved resource sharing and networking across digital libraries by making data interoperable and extending its accessibility.
This presentation on Semantic Web covers what is Semantic Web, the building blocks of semantic web and a brief overview n RDF, SPARQL, Ontologies and OWL.

queries by the students. Completely Interactive learner’s query determine the customization of the
intelligent tutor. This paper analyses the Web 3.0 learning environment attributes. A Maximum spanning
tree model for the personalized web based collaborative learning is designed.
Intelligent Expert systems can provide decisions for users for estimate from user preferences to find better destination from user profits. this present provides description of above system and suggest new approach for next researches.
Semantic Query Optimisation with Ontology Simulationdannyijwest
Semantic Web is, without a doubt, gaining momentum in both industry and academia. The word “Semantic” refers to “meaning” – a semantic web is a web of meaning. In this fast changing and result oriented practical world, gone are the days where an individual had to struggle for finding information on the Internet where knowledge management was the major issue. The semantic web has a vision of linking, integrating and analysing data from various data sources and forming a new information stream, hence a web of databases connected with each other and machines interacting with other machines to yield results which are user oriented and accurate. With the emergence of Semantic Web framework the naïve approach of searching information on the syntactic web is cliché. This paper proposes an optimised semantic searching of keywords exemplified by simulation an ontology of Indian universities with a proposed algorithm which ramifies the effective semantic retrieval of information which is easy to access and time saving.

Links are valuable. Links between documents, between people, between ideas, between data. Data is now a first class Web citizen, and the Web is expanding as more of these valuable networks are deployed within its fabric. Well-established knowledge organization systems like the Library of Congress Subject Headings will play a major role within these networks, as hubs, connecting people with information and providing a firm foundation for network growth as many new routes to the discovery of information emerge through the collective action of individuals. Or will they?
This talk introduces the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), a soon-to-be-completed W3C standard for publishing thesauri, classification schemes and subject headings as linked data in the Web. This talk also presents SKOS in the context of the W3C’s Semantic Web Activity, and in particular the work of the W3C’s Semantic Web Deployment Working Group where other specifications are being developed for publishing linked data in the Web, for embedding linked data in Web pages, and for managing Semantic Web vocabularies. Finally, this talk takes a mildly inquisitive look at the value propositions for linked data in the Web, and how LCSH might be deployed in the Web for better information discovery.

Semantic Annotation: The Mainstay of Semantic WebEditor IJCATR
Given that semantic Web realization is based on the critical mass of metadata accessibility and the representation of data with formal
knowledge, it needs to generate metadata that is specific, easy to understand and well-defined. However, semantic annotation of the
web documents is the successful way to make the Semantic Web vision a reality. This paper introduces the Semantic Web and its
vision (stack layers) with regard to some concept definitions that helps the understanding of semantic annotation. Additionally, this
paper introduces the semantic annotation categories, tools, domains and models
Tutorial at OAI5 (cern.ch/oai5). Abstract: This tutorial will provide a practical overview of current practices in modelling complex or compound digital objects. It will examine some of the key scenarios around creating complex objects and will explore a number of approaches to packaging and transport. Taking research papers, or scholarly works, as an example, the tutorial will explore the different ways in which these, and their descriptive metadata, can be treated as complex objects. Relevant application profiles and metadata formats will be introduced and compared, such as Dublin Core, in particular the DCMI Abstract Model, and MODS, alongside content packaging standards, such as METS MPEG 21 DIDL and IMS CP. Finally, we will consider some future issues and activities that are seeking to address these. The tutorial will be of interest to librarians and technical staff with an interest in metadata or complex objects, their creation, management and re-use.

The traditional Web stores huge amount of data in the form of Relational Databases (RDB) as it is good at
storing objects and relationships between them. Relational Databases are dynamic in nature which allows
bringing tables together helping user to search for related material across multiple tables. RDB are
scalable to expand as the data grows. The RDB uses a Structured Query Language called SQL to access
the databases for several data retrieval purposes. As the world is moving today from the Syntactic form to
Semantic form and the Web is also taking its new form of Semantic Web. The Structured Query of the RDB

The Semantic Web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers. Although there is great exploitable potential, we are still in "Generation Zero'' of the Semantic Web, since there are few real-world compelling applications. The heterogeneity, the volume of data and the lack of standards are problems that could be addressed through some nature inspired methods. The paper presents the most important aspects of the Semantic Web, as well as its biggest issues; it then describes some methods inspired from nature - genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, swarm intelligence, and the way these techniques can be used to deal with Semantic Web problems.

Explore the advantages of using linked data with OERs.
The Web of Linked Open Data, or LOD, is the most relevant achievement of the Semantic Web. Initially proposed by Tim Berners-Lee in a seminal paper published in Scientific American in 2001, the Semantic Web envisions a web where software agents can interact with large volumes of structured, easy to process data. It is now when users have at our disposal the first, mature results of this vision. Among them, and probably the most significant ones, are the different LOD initiatives and projects that publish open data in standard formats like RDF.
This presentation provides an overview and comparison of different LOD initiatives in the area of patent information, and analyses potential opportunities for building new information services based on largely available datasets of patent information. Information is based on different interviews conducted with innovation agents and on the analysis of professional bibliography and current implementations.
LOD opportunities are not only restricted to information aggregators, but also to end-users and innovation agents that need to face with the difficulties of dealing with large amounts of data. In both cases, the opportunities offered by LOD need to be assessed, as LOD has just become a standard, universal method to distribute, share and access data.
The present society is considered an information society. A society where the creation, distribution, use, integration, and manipulation of digital information have become the most significant activity in all aspects. Information is producing from every sector of any society, which has resulted in an information explosion. Modern technologies are also having a huge impact. So managing this voluminous information is really a tough job. Again WWW has opened the door to connect anyone or anything within a fraction of a second. This study discussed the Semantic Web and linked data technologies and their effect and application to libraries for the handling of various types of resources.
Semantic Web Technologies: Changing Bibliographic Descriptions?Stuart Weibel

An introduction to semantic web technologies and their relationship to libraries and bibliographic data.
Stuart Weibel, Senior Research Scientist, OCLC Research
Ontology languages are used in modelling the semantics of concepts within a particular domain and the relationships between those concepts. The Semantic Web standard provides a number of modelling languages that differ in their level of expressivity and are organized in a Semantic Web Stack in such a way that each language level builds on the expressivity of the other. There are several problems when one attempts to use independently developed ontologies. When existing ontologies are adapted for new purposes it requires that certain operations are performed on them. These operations are currently performed in a semi-automated manner. This paper seeks to model categorically the syntax and semantics of RDF ontology as a step towards the formalization of ontological operations using category theory.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Introduction : was in invented in 1989 by a graduate of Oxford University, England; his name was
Tim-Berners Lee. He was responsible for writing the first web client and server in 1990 at CERN
(which is the European Particle Physics Laboratory). His vision was to design an internet-based
hypermedia system which would facilitate the uploading of information from all corners of the globe so
that everyone could benefit from that knowledge. The later developments in the web witnessed the
evolution of ‘Semantic Web’, which was similarly derived from the vision of Tim-Berners Lee in the
sense of making information global and universal for its users.
What is Semantic Web?
The Semantic Web is a Web of data. There is a lot of data we all use every day, and it's not part of the
Web.
The vision of the Semantic Web is to extend principles of the Web from documents to data. Data should
be accessed using the general Web architecture using, e.g., URI-s; data should be related to one another
just as documents (or portions of documents) are already. This also means creation of a common
3. framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community
boundaries, to be processed automatically by tools as well as manually, including revealing possible
new relationships among pieces of data
Semantic Web technologies can be used in a variety of application areas; for example: in data
integration, whereby data in various locations and various formats can be integrated in one,
application; in resource discovery and classification to provide better, domain specific search engine
capabilities; in cataloging for describing the content and content relationships available at a particular
Web site, page, or digital library; by intelligent software agents to facilitate knowledge sharing and
exchange; in content rating; in describing collections of pages that represent a single logical
“document”; for describing intellectual property rights of Web pages.
Semantic Web extends the meaning (semantic) of information by enabling the web to comprehend the
demands of the user and computers so that they can utilise the web for information. Semantic Web is
based on a set of design principles and the concept of providing useful results to the user Importantly,
the web offered services and information which were comprehended by humansalone; however, in
contrast,semantic web is able to produce information in a manner that can be understood by computers.
Some of the main technologies of Semantic Web are:
Main Components of Semantic Web
RDF: initially implemented as a metadata data model. With the passage of the years, it has evolved
into a mode of conceptual description and a mechanism to provide more meaning to information on the
web.
Ontology: can be described as the method of representing information in a formal and structured
manner with the aid of a set of concepts and their respective relationships.
OWL: described as the set of information modelling languages which can be utilised in order to
produce ontologies
XML: is a simple language that permits users create their own tags in order to annotate Web
documents. It provides an elemental syntax for content structure within document
Advance digital library :
Digital libraries will start gaining ground in India in the present century. We are heading toward an
4. environment in which digital information may substitute for much print-based information. A library's
existence does not depend on the physical form of documents. Its mission is to link the past and the
present, and help shape the future by preserving the records of human culture, as well as integrating
emerging information technologies. This mission is unlikely to change in the near future.
Digital libraries come in many forms. They attempt to provide instant access to digitized information
and consist of a variety of information, including multimedia
Function of Digital Library
• Access to large amounts of information to users wherever they are and whenever they need it.
• Access to primary information sources.
• Support multimedia content along with text
• Network accessibility on Intranet and Internet
• User-friendly interface
• Hypertext links for navigation
• Client-server architecture
• Advanced search and retrieval.
• Integration with other digital libraries.
Role of Semantic Web :
The semantic Web contains resources corresponding not just to media objects (such as Webpages,
images, audio clips, etc.) as the current Web does, but also objects such as people, places, organisation
and events. Further, the semantic Web will contain not just a single kind of relation (the hyperlink)
between resources, but many different kinds of relations amongst the different kinds of resources
XML is a simple language that permits users create their own tags in order to annotate Web documents.
It provides an elemental syntax for content structure within documents. XML Schema is a language for
providing and restricting the structure and content of elements contained within XML documents.
While an XML document is a tree, an Resource Description Framework (RDF) document consists of
sets of triples. Each triple contains a subject, predicate and an object. These triples can be written using
XML tags. RDF is a simple language for expressing data models, which refer to objects (“resources”)
and their relationships. An RDF-based model can be represented in XML syntax. In RDF, a document
makes assertions that things have properties, and this is how most of the data can be described and
5. further processed by the computers.
RDF schema extends RDF and is a vocabulary for describing properties and classes of RDF-based
resources, with semantics for generalised-hierarchies of such properties and classes. XML and RDF are
twocomplimentary technologies used to build an intelligent Web. RDF model uses vocabulary defined
by the terms of ontology. The combination of an RDF model and the associated XML gives the
computer enough information to discover the meaning of data. Data about other data is
Various semantic Web technologies.
Resource Sharing and Networking:
1) increase availability of resources
2) extend the accessibility of resources
3) diminish cost, and
4) promote full utilization of resources
