Resource tracking in institutions using semantic web

The semantic web is evolving and helping users to find, share, understand and combine the information and be processed by the automated tools. With the traditional web, it is a time-consuming and tedious task to find the necessary information. By using the semantic web, we obtain information in a way that is more efficient and fast and avoid all the unnecessary data. Semantic web helps to make intelligent decisions by understanding the meaning of data. Educational institutions have the requirement of keeping track of resources like students, faculty, visitors etc. In our work, we have recorded the information of various resources of the institution in Web Ontology Language (OWL) using Protege tool. Then the SPARQL Query is used to acquire useful information. This helps to keep track of the various required resources. The developed ontology can be extended and reused by other institutions based on the need.
