Abstract

The phenomenal growth of content on the Web has made it difficult to locate, organize, and retrieve information. One way to cope with this problem is to automate these tasks. But because of the complexity of natural-language processing, we still do not have machines that can understand and analyze the content on the Web as humans do. To handle this problem, many new research initiatives and commercial enterprises have been set up to enrich available information with machine processable semantics. Such support is essential for “bringing the Web to its full potential”. Tim Berners-Lee, known as the
inventor of the World Wide Web (WWW), has a vision for the future of the World Wide Web, which he calls “The Semantic Web”, which aims to provide an intelligent access to heterogeneous and distributed information, enabling software products (agents) to mediate between user needs and the information sources available. Ontologies have proven to be an essential backbone technology in realizing the vision of Semantic Web. This paper summarizes ongoing research in the development of Ontology Languages for realizing the Semantic Web to its full potential.
