Abstract [eng] |
Web portals collects the information scattered on the internet and organizes it for easy search and access. Current Web technologies employed to build up these portals present serious limitations regarding information search, access, extraction, interpretation and processing. The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared, reused and processed directly and indirectly by machines. To facilitate this process, OWL have been developed as standard formats for the sharing and integration of data in the form of rich conceptual schemas called ontologies. An ontology defines a common vocabulary for researchers who need to share information in a specific domain. There are several methods for facilitating development of ontologies. Although, neither describes how to build a Semantic Web portals step by step, using the latest Web portals development tools and technologies. The main goal of this work is to propose a development methodology for building Semantic Web portals from the scratch. |
