Abstract:
The Semantic Web is the next step in the evolution of the Web.
The goal of the Semantic Web initiative is to create a universal
medium for data exchange where data can be shared and processed
by people as well as by automated tools. The thesis presents SEW
(Semantic Extensions to Wikipedia), a system that uses the
Semantic Web technologies to extract information from the user
and store the data along with the semantics. An experiment is
carried out and SEW is evaluated for its performance in the real
world domain. Semantic Extensions to Wikipedia will serve as a
model website empowered by the Semantic Web that would
encourage other developers to integrate this powerful technology
into their own web applications.
