Research Such as a Pro: Finding The Right Information on the Internet 

from web site


Further research is required into providing a linking mechanism for 'snippets' of information. People need answers to particular questions they're asking. In order to get the reality they require it is very important to the returned information to contain this. Return of the info as factual snippets that can be pieced together into a written report hidden wiki links to the multiple sources would aid this. The work with semantic technologies and languages such as for instance RDF (Resource Description Framework) (World Wide Web Consortium, 2006) and RSS can assist in this. RDF, and Web Ontology Language (OWL) add a layer of standardisation of semantics, above the standardised syntax of XML (extensible Markup Language) (Bechhofer and Carroll, 2004).

Structuring information causes it to be easier to export it to different software systems to create his possible. It also afford them the ability to offer visual navigation menus with a tree or graph structure. RDF can be searched using SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol And RDF Query Language) (World Wide Web Consortium, 2006). Because a source can represent anything, knowledge from any domain can theoretically be represented in RDF. This, and its standardised syntax that enables it to be machine understandable, are why RDF is this type of useful and important technology for the Semantic Web. RDF consists of a resource, home, and home value. This triple corresponds to subject, predicate, and object in logic. Each RDF triple represents a fact. A Resource is anything that could have a URI (uniform resource identifier). A URI will look like a net address and can be a web address, but this is simply not always the case, it is a means of representing an entity. A URI consists of the name and precise location of the entity. An RDF Resource is described through an accumulation of properties and property values called an RDF Description. RDF provides a mechanism for describing collections, which are special types of resources, and a sequence can be an ordered collection. An assortment does not have to possess a unique URI however it can. RDF information can link to further RDF information elsewhere, providing connectivity. This allows resources to be linked to each other indefinitely, which explains why it's such an important technology for the Semantic Web. Because it is XML based, an RDF Web site can be associated with an XSL stylesheet to generate a visual representation of the structure This is also explained by (Cayzer, 2004) who uses RDF to provide structure for Semantic blogging. Oren et al (2006) also use this approach of combining RDF and Semantic Seb use with ease of editing in a Semantic Wiki.

RSS allows web users to easier find information by subscribing to websites that provide the information they are enthusiastic about and update this regularly. RSS is explained in (JISC, 2007) and by Cayzer, (2004) who explains its used in semantic blogging. An RSS feed is a listing of articles in the internet site and a quick summary of the article with a link to the full information. Software available online or downloadable can track the RSS information for sites the net user subscribes to.

RSS has split into different syntaxes and can stand for RDF Site Summary, Rich Site Summary, Really Simple Syndication, and there's a next alternative called Atom. All of the RSS syntaxes are derived from XML and some may also be predicated on RDF. The incompatibilities however don't
