Abstract
Having a plan for higher education is important, and it can be frustrating for students if they do not have proper tools that will help them in planning and organize their work. The study is based on the Seven Step Methodology that was used to Structure our proposed Ontology development process. The aim of this study is to understand the development of a knowledge model for better understanding of a domain and the courses it includes using protégé tool. Almost 200 Different Subjects from the School of Computer Sciences at BSA University was chosen as an example for the development of Ontology. Before Categorization of the Concepts for a particular domain, a thorough study was conducted by using University Syllabus, Books, and Some Experts also. Different Ontologies for many domains exist but their educational context in not clear as far as quality and stability is concerned, and for numerous domains and subjects do not exist all. Therefore, Ontology building can prove helpful in providing the content in an efficient and effective manner to improve the interest of a learner. The Ontology aims to help scholars and researchers to plan their course work by providing some graphical representation of the domain courses, and how these courses are related together within a particular domain or with other domains. With the help of Ontology, we can focus mainly on the concepts in a domain and their relationship rather than Information alone. The reusability saves the time for domain experts and they can make use of already built ontology. The main goal is to build Ontology to help in personalization by providing the content in an efficient and effective manner to improve the performance and interest of a learner. Various aspects concepts, class hierarchy, object properties, data properties, Creating Instances, query retrieval process and graphical visualization have been demonstrated. © 2017, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc.
