Ontology-Based Metadata for Computer Terminology

Abstract

Nowadays,Information Technology is rapidly improving to provide possibilities for integration among applications using various databases. It involves retrieving and integrating information from multiple data sources. The method how to easily retrieve the information and knowledge are needed. Therefore, information retrieval system should provide advanced searching facilities to retrieve information. To organize large information repositories and access these repositories efficiently, metadata can be used. Closely related to metadata is ontology. Ontology is the key component of the Semantic Web. Ontology is used not only in semantic web but also in databases and applications that need to share domain information (specific area of knowledge). Ontology comprises as the concept, properties and restrictions on properties. This paper intends take the facilities of ontology in the building of a computer terminology.This system accepts the query as input and retrieves the relevant definition, image, etc. This system is implemented by using Java API for RDF (Resource Description Framework) called Jena package.
