Abstract

The research of ontology application in knowledge sharing in current information society has attracted much effort in recent years. This paper studies expressive power of description logic OWL-DL ontology to express complicated knowledge in practical situation and constructs an ontology to represent complicated knowledge of educational program to help students to understand the requirements and build their study plans that fulfill these requirements. This ontology demonstrates the applicability of expressive ontology in representation of complex knowledge for knowledge sharing. Therefore, this paper shows the promising possibility of extending ontology utilization to knowledge sharing research and application by employing rich semantic features of recent ontology specification.
