Translating documents into semantic documents using Semantic Web and Web2.0

Abstract

Managing metadata of documents is a difficult and slippery for desktop users. A wide variety of technologies have been applied for supporting requirements of metadata management, ranging from the acquisition, creation, maintenance, retrieval, reuse, and publishing of metadata. We introduce essential concepts of a semantic document and implement the necessary functionality of metadata managing process. We also propose that three tasks are required to facilitate unambiguous representation of metadata in documents: using XMP to store metadata with the file itself, using ontologies to represent semantic concepts and using Social Web services to interact with web based resources. So our approach allows a user to interact and share the resources among a Desktop and Web more easily. Copyright 2006 ACM.
