Its main function is to help computers or software agents understand the meanings of data and make information be found, shared, and reused more conveniently. 　 　　Household utilities and appliances are common in our daily life. They are usually convenient, but sometimes encounter troublesome when they are needed. Some of them may break down after being used over a long period of time. For different machine problems, it takes repairmen lots of time to find out the corresponding methods and various tools for fixing them. To make things worse, some small maintenance centers can''t afford to fix them. That means it will cost a lot to have someone repair them. Some websites list pieces of information for home improvement, but most of them are scattered and without integration. 　 　　In order to solve the above problems, this thesis applies the semantic web technology to build an ontology-based semantic search system for home improvement. The system provides the populace with possible solutions for their need of home improvement. With its help, they may know how to make simple DIY (Do It Yourself) fixings to save their time and money.
