Abstract

Although a bulletin board system has been an important virtual place for exchanging information in the same interest group for a long time, its users have to browse each article for getting target information because current board system has not been able to provide conceptual data access. To solve this issue, we propose a semantic-based bulletin board system, called Semantic Board that supports tagging and searching articles using semantic information. Without modification, it can be adopted in various application fields using different semantics with a proposed ontology named SBoard. The SBoard ontology is designed to describe RDF predicates representing semantic information in the Semantic Board. The ontology indicates the form generation in the frontend and RDF data access in the backend of the target predicates. Using this, the Semantic Board is able to generate dynamically HTML forms to ease difficulties in writing semantic tags manually and store users’ input as a corresponding RDF document. The SBoard is also used to generate RDQL statement for searching articles based on semantic information.
