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.

1. 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.
