Abstract

Semantic is the study of meaning of words in a sentence. Semantics help us find words which will fit better in sentence without changing the actual meaning of the sentence. Semantic is very important because, it is necessary to understand the different meanings of words and solves the problem of data overloading while retrieving information from Web. But semantics in ontological world has some shortcomings also. All the advantages and disadvantages related with semantics are collected and explicitly listed out clearly in this paper after a lot of research. Further, graphs have been used to depict the aim of the paper in a coherent manner and visualize the information written focusing on every aspect and need. The study of ontology and semantics in today’s world is considered necessity and ontological axioms have found their use in many fields like medicine, laboratories, mathematical calculation etc. Through this paper, we propose to find if semantic web engineering is a boon or a bane in the field of technology.
