Replacing.Semantic.Web.with.a.Semantic.Database
As noted before, currently the Semantic Web is an attractive idea that lacks its main
component??”large repositories of semantically demarcated (in particular travelrelated)
data. This was one of the important reasons to change the design of our
systems from data indexing into data gathering. As a result we are able to create
our own ???mini Semantic Web??? (in the form of a semantic database) and store there
information that in the future will allow us to extend our system beyond the basic
skeleton described here, and start experimenting with its true projected functionalities
??”like content personalization.
Let us describe how the HTML-demarcated information available on the Web is
turned into semantic tokens representing travel objects in our repository. Before
proceeding let us discuss briefly ontologies utilized in the system. As reported in
Gawinecki, Gordon, Nguyen, et al., 2005; Gawinecki, Gordon, Paprzycki, et al.,
2005; and Gordon, Kowalski, et al., 2005, while there exists a large number of attempts
at designing ontologies depicting various aspects of the world, we were not
able to locate a complete ontology of the most basic objects in the ???world of travel???
such as a hotel and a restaurant.
