Semantic Web Technologies
Jayashree R. Prasad, Priya M. Shelke, and Rajesh S. Prasad
Abstract The overarching aim of the Semantic Web is to allow computers to perform
more valuable research and to construct structures that can facilitate reliable connections around the Network. Semantic Web applications help people to establish data
stores on the Internet, build vocabulary, and compose data handling guidelines. Using
the details of metadata, the semantic web recovers efficiently the web page user is
searching for. Authors have introduced Semantic web, its development and technologies in brief, in this work. Provenance is the most crucial feature in for trustworthiness of semantic web. This feature is focused with the help of provenance
data model. Authors discussed semantic web implementations such as semantic web
desktop, geospatial semantic web etc. and their applications in different fields such
as agriculture, healthcare, and IoT.

1 Introduction
Semantic web is the key evolutionary step inside the world of web. Linked Data
Web, Web 3.0, the Web of Data are commonly used names to represent semantic
web. In order to facilitate our browsing experience, semantic web connects data
sources in such a way that it will be process-able and understandable by machines
[1]. The Semantic Web (SW) has been considered as a way to develop semantic
