Querying Real World Services through the Semantic Web
Kaoru Hiramatsu, Jun-ichi Akahani, Tetsuji Satoh
We propose a framework for querying real world services using meta data
of Web pages and ontologies and implement a prototype system using
standardized technologies developed by the Semantic Web community. The
meta data and the ontologies enable systems to infer related classes
while modifying the queries and retrieving approximate result and help
them smooth obstacles in interaction while querying. The standardized
technologies help us to describe the meta data and the ontologies in
RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language)
formally and enable us to share them on the network. In this paper, we
illustrate details of the framework and the prototype system,
demonstrate how it works using practical data in Kyoto, Japan, and
discuss requirements for actualizing this framework on the network.
