This research focuses on the use case of Hawkers by prioritizing the need to build a platform that can connect Hawkers with Investors. Hawker data is not stored in a structured format in any repository. Hence, it is impossible to make the data accessible to any authorities. Overall, this results in the marginal businesses to be unreachable to the willing investors. In this paper, we aim at explaining a methodology to make abstract data available over a web of needs and run matching service on the web. By creating a Web of Needs with Hawker data we can make their re- quirements available for any investor to find a prospective business. We create an automated match-making service that can meet the expecta- tion of both hawker and Investor. This can help Hawkers expand their business. Initial approach is to make the Hawker data structured in a unified format in the form of RDF triples. We will be using RDF to cre- ate the web of needs and then run a matching algorithm on it. This will enable different communities to interact with each other and exchange data between different systems.This will also enable accessibility by In- vestors from their domain. Using Web of Needs we would summarize the data in structured format and represent it in the form of URI (so that it is accessible irrespective of application). Data is represented in the form of RDF triple so that it can be linked with other systems to make it interoperable.
