                Abstract: 
                The successful expansion of web services made it more complex and required more interventions from users. Many researchers have tried to improve the comprehension ability of computers in supporting an intelligent web service. One approach is by enriching the information with machine understandable semantics. They applied ontology design, intelligent reasoning and other logical representation schemes to design an infrastructure of the semantic web. Semantic web is considered as an intelligent access to understanding, transforming, storing, retrieving, and processing the information gathered from heterogeneous, distributed web resources. The purpose of this study is to investigate the research trends on semantic web applications.
