ABSTRACT
Information Technology provides information about all facets of human being, but searching the
relevant information is a challenge for the user. To make it easy semantic web have been used.
Semantic web is the web in which searching is based on the meaning of words. It provides the
semantic knowledge to the user in a structured format. Semantic web is not the link between web
pages but it is the link between entities. To minimize the users effort there is a need of tool/
plug-in, which can make it possible. In present paper there is an introduction to the role of
ontology, browser, and database to extract the semantic knowledge and how the relevant terms
are related to each other. A new plug-in has been introduced which can be attached with the
browser for selecting the ontology automatically.
Keywords: Web Browser, Semantic web, ontology, Plug-in, Semantic knowledge.
1. Introduction
The word semantic stands for the meaning. So semantic web is the web in which searching is
based on the meaning of words. The semantic web is the web of data which describes the thing
in a way that computer or machine can understand. Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the term
semantic web. Huge data is available on web, but it is very difficult to find the desired data for
any user due to their different preferences. So a technique is required which provide useful
information to user to make an efficient searching. This useful information is called knowledge.

Example: Suppose you give me a book. How much knowledge you pass me? It depends on the
amount of knowledge means command on the language that is used in the book.
In semantic web information is analyzed. After performing semantic analysis the information
becomes knowledge. So it can be said that network of knowledge is the semantic web. It extends
the network by inserting machine readable metadata about web pages. It also tells how this
metadata or entities are related to each other. So Semantic web is web of data that can be
processed directly or indirectly by machines [2].
In World Wide Web (WWW) searching is based on the syntax rules. Links are there between
web pages but, in Semantic Web, links are not between web pages. The Semantic Web describes
the relationships between entities (like A is a part of B) and properties of entities like (size,
shape, color). So it goes in a semantic way from syntax.
The semantic web consists of XML, XML Schema, RDF, RDF Schema and OWL (web ontology
language) that are organized in the Semantic Web Stack [2].
Figure1: semantic web.

Figure 1 describes the working of semantic web. The software consists of document and library.
Document can be manual or based on other document. It also consists of the topic that can be
related to any subject. There is a person who can be related to a document as an author. This
person can live at a place. These all are related to each other by their part or properties and in this
way it goes in semantic way.
2. Ontology and semantic web:
Ontology is the data model that represents the set of concepts and relationship between them. It
identifies the concept and organizes them. It is the representation vocabulary specified to some
Page 38

domain (medical, electrical). Ontologies are used for both purposes, to structure the web and to
provide a platform for understanding between the systems. User can have many preferences in,
so many unstructured web pages. For the acquisition of user preference ontology is needed. It
investigates that how knowledge domain can help to identify user preferences [5].
There are many domains of ontology i.e. medical domain, electronic domain etc. and many
concepts in the domain. These concepts are represented in a proper way in ontology and also
related to each other. Ontology is used to increase the efficiency and consistency by description
of resources for the purpose of sharing common description [9].
One can create ontology of his own. There are two types of ontology learning algorithm for
creation of ontology. One is human-guided learning algorithm and another is machine guided
learning algorithm. In most cases ontology is highly task specific and subjective. There are two
major questions for constructing ontology by guided machine learning is:
1 Can ontology provide same quality made by guided machine learning as human guided
learning?
2 Can a guide machine learning approach learn from individual user and capture the distinction
among their personal preference?
The answer of these questions is that guide machine learning is able to produce ontology of the
same quality ontologies as human do and it also learns from individual preferences [8]. To make
ontology one need a language that is called web ontology language. America and Europe have
already identified the more powerful ontology modeling language. This is OWL (Web ontology
language).It is the combination of 2 languages DAML (American) and OIL (a European
language) [12]. Main requirements of an ontology language it should be well-defined syntax and
well-defined semantics. An efficient reasoning support should be in the language it should
provide sufficient expressive power.
3. Semantic web browser
Web browser retrieve and display the content from remote web pages using protocols HTTP and
other technology like java script. Some of the subsystem in reference architecture may be treated
as a single subsystem for simplicity. On the other hand it may be of multiple subsystems in the
web browsers. Web browser involves basically 2 tasks:
Find the right web page
Making sense to its content.
There are many web browsers which provide information to us but there is no semantic web
browser which provide semantic knowledge to us. It is a more difficult task to develope the
semantic web browser. There are many tools which provide semantic layer to browser for
semantic information.
Semantic web browser http offers a simple standard by which information can be fetched from
any web server. URL gives a way for searching of any web page that is required. Here http and
http server publisher are able to give the right way to present its information to end users. User
can gain direct access to the underlying information and control for managing connection to the
RDF repository and various approaches for federating metadata [14]. The frequent use of Web
pages to aggregate related items and building on the notion of customization is introduced by
bookmark managers in the Web browser. Bookmark and history panes are like an evidence of

web pages that was searched in Internet Explorer and Mozilla. Browser should be maintaining
the original architecture of the web page when any plug in is attached with it. Mozilla Firefox
has this capability to maintain the original structure of web page. It was introduced in1998, it
renders very fast. Now many features are added to it to increase its power. Linux is the only text
searching browser today. Due to its only text searching it is very simple.

4. Plug in:
An application or software that usually cannot be run independently and enhances software
called a plug-in. It modifies the interface and behavior of web browser. It is used to add new
features to browser. By a plug in, power is enhanced in a specific manner. When hardware is
installed then plug in is used as a common standard.
Mozilla Firefox also supports plug-in. Since there is generally a clear separation between the
browser and the plug-in. When a plug-in is attached to a browser it makes a layer between them.
After creation of this layer any operation can be performed like information retrieval etc. There
are many different extensions for every browser to attach the plug-in. It can be said that a plug-in
which work with Mozilla may not work with Internet explorer. Since plug-ins and extensions
both increase the utility of the original application, Mozilla uses the term "add-on as an inclusive
category of augmentation modules that consists of plug-ins, themes, and search engines.
Compiler plug-in called annotation processors which processed the annotation algorithm when
Java source code is compiled. Processors can produce informational messages or create
additional Java source files or resources, these may be compiled and processed, and also modify
the annotated code itself. The Java compiler conditionally stores annotation metadata in the class
files, if the annotation has a Retention Policy of CLASS or RUNTIME. Later, the JVM or other
programs can look for the metadata to determine how to interact with the program elements or
change their behavior [15].

5. Semantic web Filter:
This is the plug-in which support the semantic knowledge at user side through web browser. This
plug-in makes an efficient searching and collection of knowledge at user side. This is compatible
with Mozilla Firefox. As it is attached with the browser it makes a semantic layer. At this layer it
performs its operation.
When this is attached with browser, it will be restart. The restart is to install the setting for the
plug-in to browser. As the browser restarts Semantic layer which is created by plug-in make the
browser like a semantic web browser. Now it is able to collect the information semantically. This
task constitutes one of the major differences from other tool.
In plug-in like magpie, manual selection of ontology takes place. That works for particular
domain of ontology. While on changing the web page it may or may not work .Because the
domain of web page may also be changed, and that page may not attach with this type of
ontology [17]. But in this new plug-in there is no manually set the ontology. Here, the goal is to
automate the selection of a set of ontologies to support semantic browsing.

Figure 4: Highlighted terms output without sidebar.

Figure 5 is shows a web page of abc news. Semantic web filter capture the information and send
it to server. The matching terms are highlighted. These are the person, city, organization etc.
This plug-in includes the option tag .In this, list of website can be stored that are searched or
used for extracting the information. There is one button named enable. By clicking on that, the
plug-in is active. The other button is disable. To deactivate the plug-in this disable button is used.

Figure 6: The term highlighted with sidebar to search a particular entity.

In figure 6, there are many options
1.
Expand all
2.
Expand none
3.
Highlight all
4.
Highlight none
5.
Search
By expand all option, all entities are shown which fall under that category. In expand none, no
entity is shown. In highlight all, all terms are highlighted and in highlight none, no term is
highlighted. Search is used for searching a specific entity.
This plug-in has the following steps which are shown by flowchart to make it possible that is our
requirement.

Install the plug-in to the web browser.
The documents are captured and send to online server. This will take the document and matching
from the entities present in the ontologies (classes, properties and individuals providing semantic
descriptions) to the occurrences of terms in the web page.
After parsing of the results, wrapping the each result take place. Relevant or useful terms
highlighted at the user side. This will be in the colored; color can be changed.
That highlighted terms can be searched in other search engines like Google, facebook etc.
Conclusion:
There is a large amount of data on the web .It is difficult task to retrieve the relevant information
in a semantic way due to web world changing day by day. this paper discussed whole about
semantic web and knowledge. There are many techniques which provide semantic information to
user in their own way to help them to find specific information. But semantic web filter plug-in

is different from others. The development of this Plug-in fulfill the users need to search in a
semantic way for the knowledge at user side. But it is only for single user to make it for
multiuser is the future scope.

In any language statements are built by following the syntax. Syntax of a language defines the
rules which built the statement of a language. Now question arises that how can syntax become
semantic?
To build, test, and maintain services are very expensive in Knowledge-based systems. So there is
a need of methodology based on formal specifications of shared resources, reusable components,
and standard services. We believe that specifications of shared vocabulary can play an important
role in such a methodology. For such knowledge level communication we need conventions at
three levels:. Representation language format level, agent communication protocol level,
specification of the content of shared knowledge [11]
