XML-based Information Retrieval on the Semantic Web

Abstract

The growth of the internet and technologies are useful for information search and retrieval on the Web. There are two methods of finding and interesting information such as; browsing which is suitable for situations where the goal is general information on the topic and querying or keyword based search which is appropriate when user has a clear goal. Although search engine technology has improved in recent years, there are staying many types of searches that return unsatisfactory results. This situation can be greatly improved if web pages use a semantic markup language to describe their content. In this system, keywords are first analyzed from the user to query find relevant pages are converted into Extensive Markup Language (XML) by using term database. Finally, it retrieves the ranked pages from entire domain area with the standard query results.
