SVG & OWL

SVG is a language for describing 2-D graphics and graphical applications in xml. We are doing a project by using this new technology with OWL(Web Ontology Language). The topic is to display a map on a browser. We decided to implement this technologies only because of the advantages of semantic web concept.

SVG:

• SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics
• SVG is used to define vector-based graphics for the Web
• SVG defines the graphics in XML format
• SVG graphics do NOT lose any quality if they are zoomed or resized
• Every element and every attribute in SVG files can be animated
• SVG is a W3C recommendation
• SVG integrates with other W3C standards such as the DOM and XSL.

OWL:

• Web Ontology Language
• The OWL Language is a research-based revision of the DAML+OIL web ontology language

We did the project by using these technologies..the main advantage of these are we can zoom to a maximum value which is set by the administrator.
