A Look at Semantic Web Technology and the Potential Semantic …

The use of each depends on the application in which it will be used, depending
on the needs of the ontology. OWL-DL allows a greater level of expressiveness in
the constructions, as the Full version brings a better detail [53].
In the field of health systems can be developed that monitor the effectiveness of
medicines, as well as decision support applications for possible treatments and side
effects. As well as the creation of assistive tools in epidemiological research, due to
the combination of knowledge contained in the medical and pharmaceutical communities. With patient data, a wide range of intelligent applications are possible, as long
as medical professionals describe or represent knowledge about symptoms, illnesses
and treatments similarly to pharmaceutical companies describing information about
medications, dosages, and allergies [12–14].
In short, ontologies are presented as a model of the relationship between entities and their interactions. In a particular domain of knowledge or specific to some
activity, to build a shared vocabulary to exchange information between members of
a community, be they humans or intelligent agents. In this sense, several standards
and languages for sharing and building ontologies on the Web were created based on
XML, with some differences in tag syntax. Among them can be exemplified as SHOE,
Ontology Exchange Language (XOL), Resource Description Framework, Schema
Language (RDFS). As well as Ontology Markup Language (OML and CKML),
Ontology Interchange Language (OIL), which is a proposed extension of RDF and
RDFS [49, 50].
4.2 FOAF and SPARQL
The success of the Semantic Web is considered proportional to how much knowledge
available on the Web inter-referencing ontologies represents and interrelates. Since
it is possible to create HTML pages and link them to existing ones, creating and
publishing ontologies that reference other ontologies, in this knowledge-building
model, there is no need for a centralized database [22, 32].
FOAF (Friend of a Friend) Ontology is a “machine-readable” ontology
consisting of a specific descriptive vocabulary for people, their activities, and relationships with other people and even entities. It makes use of the RDF and OWL
languages, enabling the description of social networks without the need for a centralized database. Allowing Semantic Web applications to list all the people a particular user and friend know in common or all Brazilians who have a FOAF profile,
whereas the defined online social web. The interconnection of FOAF profiles is
already complex and for many purposes, it is also representative, since this ontology
is one of the most used on the Internet [54].
SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is a semantic web
data query length and RDF data access protocol, these queries are quite a complex
concept within programming languages. However, which are simply interpreted as
queries, are technologies that enable the retrieval of embedded information on the
network. In the context that the semantic web is a structured organization in meaning
