Creation of web pages with semantic markups for a research group

Abstract

It is the age of web 3.0 now. The Semantic Web is being built by converting web content into machine-readable data, so it is also called "web of data". The main approach for this goal is to describe the web pages with semantic markups. The markups apply terms from certain vocabularies in a specialized format for corresponding content. They are written in the web page documents. And when the search engines read these documents, the markups are detected to help to match better results to users’ searches. In this project, new responsive web page templates are designed for a research group of UPM. The responsive feature means that the pages can be displayed properly in different devices with diverse screen sizes. And then these templates are marked up to produce machine-readable data. The markup method used is RDFa and the vocabulary applied is Schema.org vocabulary. The code of each template has to pass the test using a structured data testing tool developed by Google to ensure that the markups work without errors. The templates made in the project will be used for future development of more pages when the website of the research group is really implemented.
