Ontology-based Query System for UNITEN Postgraduate Students
This paper proposes a new model to support user
queries on postgraduate research information at Universiti Tenaga
Nasional. The ontology to be developed will contribute towards
shareable and reusable domain knowledge that makes knowledge
assets intelligently accessible to both people and software. This work
adapts a methodology for ontology development based on the
framework proposed by Uschold and King. The concepts and
relations in this domain are represented in a class diagram using the
Protégé software. The ontology will be used to support a menudriven
query system for assisting students in searching for
information related to postgraduate research at the university.
