Context-oriented Approach in Designing Metadata Application Profile and Developing the Semantic Web

Abstract

This study will discuss the context-oriented aspects in designing and creating a metadata application profile compatible with the native needs of related information environments and its impact on developing the semantic web in an analytical approach. In the first part of the paper, the concept of the context and how the context will be established, and creating semantic based on the relationship among concepts in a special context emphasizing the semantic Web will be described. Then, the concept of the metadata application profile as the newest approach in creating metadata in information environments, and the context-oriented approach in designing this kind of profile aimed to meeting special native needs. The paper clarifies the position and the role of the metadata application profile in producing semantic in various information contexts as elements making the semantic web, and creating structured data (metadata) for describing and managing of the Web content objects. In the end, the paper will conclude the common approach in developing metadata application profiles and the semantic Web shows the positive impact and efficiency of metadata application profiles in developing the semantic Web.
