An Ontology Design to Represent Academic Researches

Abstract

Semantic Web provides models and abstractions to process web-accessible information and services to be more effectively. The effective communication with semantic web is ontology, which is the concept of the entities that means concreted objects. It provides formal and explicit specification of the conceptualization in any domain. In this paper, we designed an ontology in which the academic studies have been classified. After the description of the logic rules, we realized formal concept analysis of the constituted ontology. All classes of our ontology include instances interacting with each other according to the object property assertions and it has been built with OWL web ontology language by using Protege. Finally, we defined SPARQL queries of our prototype.
