Creation of research results and its publications is extremely important for further research in the
same area. Research institutions are already making their best effort to digitize their research
output and keeping it in an archive as repository for internal access and sharing among peer
research. Open access model has paved way for publishing the research result on public access
mode. Shodhganga is a National Repository of Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) awarded
in Indian Universities. Search and discovery of content in a semantic approach is paramount for a
researcher to navigate to the proper content in ETDs. Creation of meta-data, organizing it in a
logically linked relation is proposed for a semantic visual browser. Use of ontology for the explicit
specification of conceptualization of the important meta-data elements by using latest semantic
tools such as RDF/XML, OWL, Protégé, NeOn toolkit are discussed in this paper. A conceptual
framework for ontologies based on the standard and advanced ontological model and its creation
and implementation with reference to ETDs is also discussed. |
