Use of a semantic web service to support the management of information applied to student selection processes in a higher education institution

Abstract

The integration of the Semantic Web and Web services have the potential to give to the current web, the infrastructure to build services, tools and applications that allow computers to interact intelligently and transform information into knowledge. The proposed investigation project consists in applying the construction of ontology (formal and explicit conceptual model) focused on processes that will further standardize and classify information, be replicated in other areas of the organization as knowledge is assimilated. This work presents a general vision about the methodologies in order to use ontologies and show a frame of working focused on the development of a prototype of a semantic web service that integrates with a repository of documents related to the admission process of students from a university, in addition to information searches, the result is classified and related to the specified domain in the ontology, providing the starting point to implement a solution such as the management of information.
