Abstract

This paper presents an approach of supporting users in formulating queries in the Semantic Web applications. We create an innovative mediator environment containing a lighter query language to help the users in the challenging task of making unambiguous requests. The query language is designed firstly for the SemanticLIFE's Virtual Query System [1] and could be used for other Semantic Web applications. The proposed query language, namely Virtual Query Language (VQL), is an effort of reducing complexity in the query formulation, especially from the user-side. Furthermore, it simplifies the communication between components of the SemanticLIFE system with the VQS, and increases the portability of the system.
