- Abstract
- Knowledge representation enabling inference making has been greatly promoted through the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web provides and supports some ontology languages that have been used in representing machine readable knowledge base. Furthermore, both classical and newer ontology development tools abounds correspondingly with the available ontology languages. Also, storage models and systems have been proposed and used in storing ontology files. This research first reviews some ontology languages and their development tools, and then discusses some ontology repositories. Finally, a proposed model for unifying the task of ontology creation and editor, and as well as incorporating this development tool with ontology repository is presented. We indicate that storing such ontology in the proposed repository does make it lose its semantics.
