Abstract
Thai herbs have been used more and more in many application fields such as medical, health and cosmetic. However, Thai herbs are stored and collected in several types of databases, and in variety of formats such as excel, access and flat files, which make users difficult to search and analyze them. Objective of this work is to design and develop a Thai herbs search system. The developed system is consisting of two parts which are data and user management, and ontology-based user interface modules. This project focuses on the first module which consists of data extraction and filtering, and user management modules. Data extraction and filtering are implemented using web-crawler and natural language processing techniques.
Keywords: Thai herbs, Ontology, web-crawler, Search Engine
1. Introduction
1.1Background and Motivation
Recently, a usage of Thai’s herbs has become popular in many organizations such as using for medical, educational and etc. So knowledge in Thai’s herbs both expertise and indigenous knowledge are distributed in many forms and formats. Thus, method of sharable and usable knowledge in this field cannot perform easily. To enable knowledge sharing an efficient method of storage of Thai’s herbs knowledge is needed. From the collecting data of each organization, cause the disintegration of Thai herbs information. Because the amount of data source is not equal and description of data is not same, it makes people who interested in, have to take long time to search and find. Previously have some websites have developed and collected data from several sources to present data in standard pattern and help
