Building Myanmar, Myanmar Sign and Japanese Languages Dictionary Based on Ontology

Abstract

The World Wide Web is an information resource with virtually unlimited potential. However, this potential is relatively untapped because locating relevant information can often be time consuming and fruitless. If machines could understand the content of the web pages, searches with high precision and recall would be possible. So, our approach system is to find the meaning of word from Ontology database. Nowadays, Ontology is becoming increasingly widespread in research field and application area of computer science. Ontology is used not only in semantic web but also in database and applications that need to share domain information for specific area of knowledge. Ontology comprises as the concept, properties and restrictions on properties. So, we can build Ontology for every object and thing in our environment that has relationship and properties. This system was developed by categories grouping methods and then all of that groups are relation with ontology properties. So, users can see all of the words relation and study usage of the words from this dictionary. This dictionary prototype was developed with Protégé ontology Editor 4.2 Alpha version that supports OWL 2.0 languages.
