Implementing the Main Functionalities Required by Semantic Search in Decision-Support Systems
Keywords:
semantic web, decision-making semantic search, ontology, SPARQL, SQWRL, RDF, OWLAbstract
This paper exploits different semantic web technologies and builds a prototype of semantic web mashup functionality based on an architecture proposed by us. The main scope is to improve decision-making processes. In this paper, we are focusing on querying different ontologies in order to improve decision-making semantic search. As a conclusion, we demonstrate that in order to improve decision-making semantic search there is a need of special constructions that a query language must support.
