Department of Computer Science, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), India Article Info ABSTRACT Article history: Received Jan 30, 2019 Revised Apr 12, 2019 Accepted Apr 25, 2019 Web 2.0 delivers the information which is then displayed in human readable content, omitting the crucial information which can be drawn from the data by the applications. Web 3.0 or semantic web is an extension to the current web, with an ambition to determine the drawbacks of the current web. The semantic web has already proven its influence in several communities around the globe, such as social media, music industry, healthcare domain, online blogs or articles, etc.; Among the several tools and technologies, ontologies or vocabularies are the foundation pillar for the semantic web. In this paper, the developed system aims at improving the collaboration and academic relations among staff which is directly related to our education community by providing a better networking platform which lets the agents discuss their achievements, titles, domain interests, and various other activities. Results have been analyzed to show how new facts, information can be implied from the presented knowledge of several agents and help generate a relationship graph by utilizing various semantic tools. The system discussed in this paper processes all the information in a format which can be understood by both humans and the machines, to interpret the underlying meaning about it and provide effective results.

INTRODUCTION In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the web. He assisted in modeling the Internet as we know it today [1]. World Wide Web and the Internet are two distinguished topics, the Web is something more to than just the HTML stack. We have that trivial ideology that Web is just the consolidation of various technologies which are adhered with fundamental philosophical principles. To become the part of the World Wide Web, a page or an application should have two necessities: it should be link-able, and it should permit any client to access it. Web 1.0 “Static Web”, the web before the year 1999 is referred to as Read-Only web [2]. The only functionality provided to the user was reading the static content which was available on the website. The paucity of interaction between users leads to the next stage in the development of the Web 2.0. It is referred to as Participative Web, the transformation of static web pages displaying just information to the ability to collaborate at a global scale and share the content via various web-based forums. The Semantic Web or Web 3.0 or Linked Data is the next evolution in Web Development. Basically, it is a bridge to fill the gap between human interaction and web applications. Web 3.0 aims at sharing and connecting services by understanding the meaning behind the underlying data.
