Abstract: The WWW is a vast information resource with enormous potential. The retrieval of relevant information from the web is a major issue because it is difficult for the machines to process and integrate the information. Internet is growing very fast as pages are added in a very fast pace. Searching on the web for a specific topic results in hundreds of pages and it is up to the user to extract the useful information from the result set. This paper presents insight on how current search engine works and also the potential gain of using current search engines. This paper further gives an overview of the challenges surrounding current search techniques and looks at the need of an intelligent information retrieval system on web. This paper also reviews the foundations required to make the search engine an intelligent one and also gives an insight on concepts like metadata, RDF, URI, XML, triples and ontologies
Keywords: Semantic web, RDF, XML, Triples, Ontologies.
