A Dialogue-System Using a Qur’anic Ontology

Abstract

A dialogue-system is a medium of communication and interaction between humans and computers by exchanging questions and answers in natural languages. The performance of the latter depends on the ability to analyze the question, the good management of keywords to question the knowledge base, and finally the use of an efficient knowledge base. However, several problems related to developing dialogue systems are due to using traditional databases. In this project, we propose a dialogue-system based on a Quranic ontology. This system allows easy access to Qur’anic information by SPARQL queries from pre-existing domain ontology. The used ontology covers Quranic chapters and verses, each word of the Qur’an and its root and lemma.
