The ontology and architecture for an academic social network

In this paper, UniGrad, an ontology that extends FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) with graduate education and research concepts has been presented. Nowadays, having lots of information exist throughout the Web, e.g. for academicians and researchers, finding a specialist in an area as a query is somehow cumbersome. The proposed technique is using Semantic Web technology including ontologies such as FOAF and SIOC to provide possibility of defining a structure for information to take the advantage of desired queries. We also propose the design of a social network based on UniGrad and using of this ontology to integrate different data sources.
