Abstract

Ontologies are considered as a cornerstone for knowledge-based systems and semantic web for reusing and sharing the knowledge by explicit specification of shared conceptualizations. For representing and organizing knowledge, ontology needs a conceptual model to express the real-world objects. The conceptual model explores a series of entities, relationships and attributes to integrate and correlate the knowledge of domain-related data. It allows the layout of architectures for the usage of contents and the ontology provides an initial conceptual level for the knowledge organization. In this paper, the authors have presented a different conceptual model for the management and representation of specific domain knowledge.
