Abstract:
The semantic web offers a great deal of deviation from the
way in which the current search engines which are based on the
traditional information search theory work. Semantic search is carried
out by ontology based intelligent information retrieval. So a good
semantic search needs a good ontology. The ontology developers need
more familiar notations and tools for a uniform representation of
ontologies. UML being a standard modeling language in software
engineering, it is better supported in terms of expertise and the tools as
compared to the upcoming semantic web languages. This work
proposes a representation technique which is based on software
engineering standards namely UML for modeling domain knowledge
of the Semantic Web. The ontology for Company Domain has been
presented using this software engineering modeling technique. The
UML tool like Rational Rose tool can be used to provide support for
modeling complex ontologies of the given domain.
