Abstract
In this present age, the challenge is no longer the availability of information but the appropriate information. This challenge is attributed to the fact that information is highly unstructured. Also in many areas of knowledge, concepts and relationships become so complex because they are not structured and as such it is difficult to organize and navigate the information clearly and logically. Thus, alternative information-organization techniques are required to be able to effectively and efficiently navigate and retrieve information from systems, web included. By using an innovative technology - XTM for organizing and representing knowledge out of a specific domain, such as news domain, an XTM-based ontology for news domain is developed in this thesis with loads of advantages; for reuse, sharing, and interoperability of knowledge structure. The information becomes structured and the Scope attribute of topics in XTM is used to classify and retrieve information, which will mostly reduce the information querying time. To this end, this thesis, implements a web-based application named NEWS.net which is capable of resolving dead links issue.
