ROEF: A Smart Search Engine of the 3rd Generation World Wide Web (WWW)
Karim Mahmoud, Hanafy Ismail, Mohamed Kholief · 2015
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the new personalized sematic web semantic search engine “ROEF” (Register Once Enjoy Forever). ROEF was created to be a step towards bridging the gap between the current search engines' implementations and the future of smart and personalized Web3.0. ROEF is a search engine where a user can register his personal information and areas of interest, and link his social networking profiles to his ROEF profile. After registration, every time the user searches for any query, the results returned are filtered and ranked by cross-referencing the search query with the user's ROEF profile information. These results are returned as semantic search documents, which can then be processed and displayed in both user-friendly GUI and machine-friendly XML formats respectively, thus providing a unique and personalized searching experience for the end-user, and simple service-based integration with other applications. The product of this paper is a fully functioning proof-of-concept that is limited by the lack of a complete semantic knowledge base, and future enhancements include more advanced query optimization, performance enhancements, and developing semantic web crawlers and scutters which will maintain and expand the semantic knowledge base.
