CSC498 - Semantic Web - Project - Fall 2005
Nadeem Abdul Hamid - Berry College
Project timeline:
- Oct 7: Project proposal
- Weekly progress reports until...
- Nov 25: Final report
- Nov/Dec ?: Presentation
Possible topics:
Can be one of your own ideas of any of the following (some may be more difficult than others):
- Store web project
- Web page creator - Create an ontology on some topic. Create a tool that helps users create pages about this topic. The tool should create both HTML and semantic web annotations
- Semi-automatic annotation - Create a tool that uses either NLP, information retrieval, or machine learning techniques to suggest possible annotations to a user, given a web page. This might be customized to a particular ontology
- Wrapper generator - Create a tool that helps users extract semantic markup from HTML pages with regular structured data.
- Domain specific intelligent agent - Write an agent that can perform some interesting/useful task on the Web by processing semantic web markup. You may have to create an ontology and markup or create wrappers for a set of pages.
- Create an ontology repository, provide features to help users find ontologies for reuse
- Perform a usability study (i.e., use multiple test subjects) of a semantic web language or semantic web language tool. Discuss the results of your study and suggest ways to improve the language or tool.
- Project described in Chapter 7 (page 218-) of A Semantic Web Primer
Project Proposal
Your project proposal will serve as your project description. Therefore, it should describe what you intend to do in as much detail as possible. It should include a schedule that describes what you intend to accomplish each week leading up to the due date. Your proposal should be at least one full page in length. You should discuss your project idea with me before submitting the proposal. The proposal is due by October 7, 2005.
You are expected to work on the project every week from the time you turn in your proposal to the day it is due. I want you to send me short weekly progress reports. These reports should be sent every Monday by e-mail and should briefly (one or two paragraphs) describe what you accomplished the past week. You should compare your progress to the schedule laid out in your proposal, and describe any particular difficulties or problems you've encountered.
Final Results
Your final project submission is due by November 25. You should turn in a hard-copy paper describing your project and results, as well as email copies of any relevant source code or data files. The project paper should be at least 10 pages long, double-spaced. It should have an introduction, body sections, conclusion, and references. You should be prepared to orally present your results and demonstrate any software you have written, to me and possibly other faculty or students.
