and processing of Web information by both humans and machines for varied purposes
[2]. There is not much difference between the semantic web and the World Wide Web
rather it enhances the current web for greater utility. Semantic Web extends various
mechanisms provided by the current web. It supports appropriate visual display along
with precise semantics of web contents so that computer and its users can work in
better collaboration. Semantic web comes into action when individuals working
in a specific field or occupation consent to common patterns for representation of
their crucial information. When these taxonomies are build up by more number of
individuals, Semantic Web enables to connect to common schemes and interpret their
details, bit by bit extending the quantity of individuals and networks whose Web
software can comprehend each other naturally [3]. Abstracting away the physical
storage and networking layers concerned in data exchange between two machines
is the greatest advantage of web 1.0. Direct connectivity in between the documents
can be experienced by this development. When we click a link, within a fraction of
second we are on that content, which might reside on different machine, different
network or even different continent! Abstraction of the network and physical layers
is carried out by Web 1.0. In the network, data and application layers play important
role while exchanging the information. Abstraction on these layers is carried out
by the Semantic Web. Facts are connected using it. So, if you need to connect to
specific piece of information in a document or application, you can directly link to
it instead of getting linked to whole container document or application. All updates
in the information are automatically reflected to the user.
2 Semantic Web-Future of Internet
In 1989, invention of internet and web was carried out by Sir Tim Berners-Lee,
working with CERN. Most basic, fundamental innovation was the hyperlink. With
just a click on hyperlink, a very quick access can be obtained by the client over that
linked document. The basic building block of this World Wide Web is Web page.
It is the simplest way of sharing/exchanging information. Typically, HTML is used
to code the web pages and hyperlinks are used to connect them with each other.
Web is growing with an astonishing speed and billions of web pages are already
present. However, most of the web pages are still designed only from the perspective
of human users and processing them by machines is challenging task. In such cases,
job of machines is restricted only to decode the information on the web pages such as
color schema, headers, links etc. Furthermore, web search engines can offer humans
web pages according to the search strings but cannot offer support to interpret results.
User has to select most relevant of informative link as per his/her knowledge and
interest. With billions of web pages, hundreds of relevant links for the desired topic,
situation of user to retrieve exact information is becoming pathetic. Although, some
search engines are indexing the search results, the enormous size of search results are
making it tedious to get relevant information and it has no more the easy task now as
