An overview of search methodologies in Semantic Web

Abstract

Several researches in Semantic Web are based on information search centered meaning. The common purpose of these researches is to improve current information search and retrieval methods. The last few years have seen a various number of developed semantic search systems. The requirement of a complete survey in this field is one of the main purpose of this paper. The approaches, methodologies and objectives of some recognized projects and their corresponding practical systems are exploited to constitute this overall view of semantic search. In this paper, we present and compare various research directions in semantic search. Further, we give discussion with regards to future research in this area.
