Abstract - The information contained in the World Wide Web or the web content is increasing every day. In this paper, we describe the semantic annotation process for university's library semantic web application. The step in developing the semantic web application that adds the effectiveness and reality to it is the semantic annotation for the documents published and distributed throughout the Web. The semantic annotation in this paper concerns about the research papers of the university's faculty. Semantic annotation is nothing but tagging the instances data of ontology already created with classes then map in to the related ontology classes. In this paper, two tools are going to be used for the annotation: OntoMat and OntoStudio.
Keywords: Annotation, Semantic Web, Ontology, Knowledge Representation.

1 Introduction
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a service that needs Internet to work. It allows users to read and write information that is displayed in computers connected to the internet. What is used in the proposed system is the second and third generation of the WWW. The second generation of World Wide Web (Web 2.0) concentrates mainly on collaboration, interaction and social networking. Examples of Web 2.0 are blogs, RSS, wikis, web applications.
Tim Berners-Lee [19] has described the Semantic Web as a component of Web 3.0. The Semantic web allows for accessing information based on its meaning. A new Semantic Library model (SWLib) is considered an important need for any university. The new library website with a new design, updated information and Semantic Web model is going to change the way visitors experience the website. Currently, only few of the library websites are integrated with Semantic Web. Integrating Semantic Web with e-library is a major shiftfor any university's library website and allows it to be one of the leading library websites.
SWLib enables Arabian Gulf University (AGU) faculty to have their research papers published in one centralized place and makes it easy for them to find the research papers that belong to their colleges. This research papers is added to the SWLib using a Semantic Web model and through annotation process this papers are stored in an RDF store that in turn compose a knowledge base. The Semantic Web is, as mentioned...
