Ontology and Inference Rules for Semantic Web based Applications

Abstract

The minimum requirement of the Semantic Web applications in a Semantic Web technology is to create the ontology and RDF triple database. The Semantic Web based applications can make the use of its languages and technologies especially to those related to ontology. The ontology expresses the explicit knowledge of domain that the machine can understand and use the web ontology language like RDF, RDFS and OWL etc. and expression of description logics. In order to develop the Semantic Web based applications, we introduce how the ontology and inference rules can be applied in Semantic Web applications. The inference based ontology shows the excellent performance and intelligent use of information for Semantic Web applications. As a case study, we have discussed the construction of ontology for university system to verify the concepts of ontology and inference rules which uses the technologies of both ontology and their rules to establish the knowledge base for the university
