An Ontological Model for Scientific Miracle in the Holy Quran

摘要

The Holy Quran is a cyclopedia document that contains a huge volume of knowledge. Many modern scientific discoveries are much similar to some verses of the Quran, which the Islamic scientists call a scientific miracle in the Holy Quran. However, representing knowledge of scientific miracles in the Holy Quran on the semantic web in a such way that enables sharing and reusing is still a research issue. This research suggests a general structure for these scientific facts mentioned in the Holy Quran and then represents this structure by creating Scientific Miracle Ontology (SMO) using METHONTOLOGY methodology. The results of SMO have been evaluated by competency questions and translated these competency questions into SPARQL queries and the results obtained emphasized that SMO was effective in retrieval relevant concepts and verses of scientific miracles in the Holy Quran.
