Abstract
Semantic Web as the third generation of the Web is due to greater interaction between humans and computers and attempts to understand the processing of information for the machine in order to establish relationships between Web pages in such a way as to represent meaning. Many Studies on and applications of Semantic web show that the current semantic web is not semantic. The purpose of this study was to investigate giving meaning to weave through the application of theories such as the theory of conceptual spaces. The reason for using this theory is that it examines the representation of knowledge and semantic construction and is concerned with the making of meaning of words and using them in the context of conceptual space. This research is applied and analytical. The results showed that the Semantic Web, as an approach for the representation of knowledge, must explain knowledge cognition axis on its current structure and note the user, context and cognitive conditions, tools in understanding how structured and how the meaning of words in context by humans and put it in its own structure. Theory of conceptual spaces by having the geometric structure of concepts and relationships between them can be placed in different contexts and the formation of meanings in different textures with the consideration of the user's cognitive fields makes it possible to create retrieval related to what is in the user's mind. This research is one of the few studies carried out in the context of emphasizing the conceptual context in semantic web. In this research, attention has been paid to the context and its relationship with meaning, and the concept of conceptual spaces has been introduced as one of the strategies.
