Abstract
The volume of data on the Web is increasing rapidly. The rapidly increased data in Web have brought an urgent
need to develop a method to organize that data. At the same time, the level of user expectation of getting
précised data is increased highly. Hence, it is tough to satisfy the user satisfaction through the existing system.
In this paper, we proposed a model to organize the large volume of data over the Web and retrieve the more
relevant data to the user. As an implementation of the proposed model, we built two demo search engine (one
for RDF based semantic searching and another for existing searching). We use two different sets of data for
testing. For every set of data, the RDF based searching returns more précised data than existing searching. The
efficiency of the proposed model is better than the existing searching strategies. In the proposed model, we
considered both traditional web and RDF based ontology library to organize the data effectively.

1. Introduction
Semantic web technologies were primarily designed before the rise of the Web 2.0 technologies for
organizing large volumes socially contributed content. The World Wide Web is mostly accessible to humans,
whereas machines have a very sketchy knowledge of its content [1]. The main vision of the semantic web is
that the content available on the web or offered by the web should be understandable by computers and can
exploit the standard meaning. The large volume of linked data available on the web has made a clear advert that
in the near future, a web representation may hold the human readable and machine understandable
information[1- 2].
Semantic web technology will operate in two major ways: it adds structure to user data or organizes the user
data using web mining and connects the existing storage of data that describe the Web 2.0 landscape [3]. Web
