Abstract:

World Wide Web contains tons of information that is increasing everyday. Search engines and catalogues have been trying hard to make the life of users easier by indexing this ever growing information. They however suffer from the fact that web is not machine understandable that makes the information retrieval very difficult. Moreover, the demands of the users are also increasing. When performing a task e.g., an individual planning a vacation trip or an organization finding and integrating with another organization the, users do not want to find and fix all the pieces of the jigsaw by themselves. They want computers to handle the details automatically. Semantic Web comes forward to embrace this challenge by annotating the web with knowledge and performing reasoning on this knowledge hence entering in to the age of knowledge from the present age of information Semantic Web makes the web machine understandable that makes the use of intelligent agents possible that can accomplish complex tasks automatically with minimum human intervention. Knowledge representation and reasoning on this knowledge are the two main components of Semantic and they are the focus of this paper.
