Swoogle: Semantic Web Search


Peter Da Vanzo

What’s this, then? Swoogle.

Besides potentially more work for the Google legal department, “bleeding slow” is how I’d describe it. At least it was when I tried it, you may have more luck.

“Swoogle is a search engine for the Semantic Web on the Web. Swoogle crawl the World Wide Web for a special class of web documents called Semantic Web documents, which are written in RDF. Currently, it provides the following services to the following services:

  • search Semantic Web ontologies
  • search Semantic Web instance data
  • search Semantic Web terms, i.e., URIs that have been defined as classes and properties
  • provide metadata of Semantic Web documents and support browsing the Semantic Web. (Please refer to Li Ding et. al., Finding and Ranking Knowledge on the Semantic Web, ISWC’04 for details)
  • archive different versions of Semantic Web documents”
