There has been an upsurge in efforts, in recent times, to align healthcare with semantic web. Proponents of healthcare and biomedical research are starting to acknowledge the benefits of sharing data across different domains and are finding ways to reap the benefits of semantic web. This paper highlights the work done in order to create MedSearch, a semantic search system that uses Jena Reasoner and SPARQL to display list of symptoms and treatment available for the list of diseases available in the dataset. We describe the process of (1) creating our own dataset with list of diseases, its symptoms and treatment (2) building the OWL/RDF ontology using Protégé (3) building a Jena Reasoner and use SPARQL query to display results and finally (4) use Parametrized query to display results based on user input.
