AN ONTOLOGY MODEL APPROACH FOR E-BOOK SEARCH APPLICATION

Abstract

Semantic search through query information is an important step to improve information retrieval efficiency. In this paper, we propose an ontology model and approaches to improve the relevancy in information retrieval. We built an e-book search system that allows users to search based on semantics with about 360 titles stored in the ontology. The system is implemented with the support of Resource Description Framework (RDF) technologies and ontology Web Language (OWL) technologies. For executing query, we used the SPARQL query language in RDF format which is used to retrieve the data that is being stored. The application provides a simple and consistent encryption system that helps users to search and retrieve information efficiently, saving search time.
