Towards an Ontological Representation of Knowledge on the Web

  • Chapter
Book cover Knowledge-Based Information Retrieval and Filtering from the Web

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 746))

Abstract

This chapter gives a background on recent developments in Web ontologies, which provide basic means to represent semantic knowledge about the Web. We start with Resource Description Framework to show basic syntax, and further develop many examples in OWL Web Ontology Language to show the expressiveness of this language.
