A Study on Semantic Searching, Semantic Search Engines and Technologies Used for Semantic Search Engines

Semantic search engines (SSE) are more efficient than other web engines because in this era of busy life everyone wants an exact answer to his question which only semantic engines can provide. The immense increase in the volume of data, trad itional search engines has increased the number of answers to satisfy the user. This creates the problem to search for the desired answer. To solve this problem, the t rend of developing semantic search engines is increasing day by day. Semantic search engines work to extract the best answer of user queries which exactly fits with it. Trad itional search engines are keyword based which means that they do not know the mean ing of the words which we type in our queries. Due to this reason, the semantic search engines super pass the conventional search engines because they give us mean ingful and well-defined informat ion. In this paper, we will discuss the background of Semantic searching, about semantic search engines; the technology used for the semantic search engines and some of the existing semantic search engines on various factors are compared.
