Mind Map Based Semantic Web Browser for Tablets

Semantic Web embeds “meaning” to data in order for users to retrieve information more effectively. The number of webs that have semantic tags is increasingly available in many domains. However, tools for using Semantic Web nowadays are still difficult to use and require understanding of semantic tags. This research aims to provide a tool to help students and children to have access to Semantic Web. As tablets start to become a standard platform for students and children to access the internet, Semantic Web browser on tablets is a logical development. To simplify a query, users compose the query using Mind Map metaphor. An interface based on touch can be implemented to compose a query diagram. This interface makes learning more fun and retrieving information more easily. It also encourages students to explore knowledge by themselves. Instructors can also present information more interestingly in form of relationships
