چکیده

Making information on the Web accessible to all people, including to those having special needs, has become a necessity because of various legal obligations.

To make the Web more accessible, it is necessary to follow the current Web standards. Improving Web accessibility is an ongoing activity. The Semantic Web movement, which suggests that information should be encoded according to its meaning, brings us closer to a truly accessible Web in the future.

Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems.

The Principle of Self-Description: Identity Through Linking

If one wants to have a scheme for identifying non-Web accessible entities, should it be centralized or decentralized? Given a URI, how can one tell if it refers to a web page or a non-Web accessible entity? We present an analysis of these questions, and come to the rather startling conclusion: that identity can only be defined through linking. This in turn leads us to a definition of self-descr...

A procedure for Web Service Selection Using WS-Policy Semantic Matching

In general, Policy-based approaches play an important role in the management of web services, for instance, in the choice of semantic web service and quality of services (QoS) in particular. The present research work illustrates a procedure for the web service selection among functionality similar web services based on WS-Policy semantic matching. In this study, the procedure of WS-Policy publi...

Query Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology

Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...
