Arabic Quranic Search Tool Based on Ontology

This paper reviews and classifies most of the common types of search techniques that have been applied on the Holy Quran. Then, it addresses the limitations of these methods. Additionally, this paper surveys most existing Quranic ontologies and what are their deficiencies. Finally, it explains a new search tool called: a semantic search tool for Al-Quran based on Qur’anic ontologies. This tool will overcome all limitations in the existing Quranic search applications.
