| Summary: | There are many digital Islamic resources that can be used by Muslims and non Muslims to
enhance their knowledge about Islam. However, the searching and mining of the wealth of
knowledge in these resources depend on how well we can index them. Until recently,
much of this task is done manually by Islamic scholars. In this system, we propose a way
to store and extract ontology from Islamic resources such as Al-Qur'an translations, hadith
translations and other Islamic documents. Ontology level extracted includes terms,
synonyms, relations, definitions and taxonomy. We used statistical techniques such as TFIDF,
linguistics methods such as Stanford Parser; and Artificial Intelligence Techniques
such as Particle Swarm for the extraction. The extracted ontology is stored in the system
and can be used for searching resources. Our system provides users with ontology-based
search facility to search Islamic resources based on the extracted ontology, where Islamic
resources containing the ontology will be retrieved and instances of the ontology
occurrence will be highlighted. Test on solat-related ontology compiled by a number
Malaysian Islamic scholars shows satisfactory results. The system can be used by Muslim
and Non Muslims to automatically store Islamic documents, organize them, extract
ontology from them and search them by different ontology levels. |
