An Approach of Domain Ontology Construction Based on Resource Model and Jena

Ontology is a hotspot of research in knowledge engineering. It is an effective means that building an ontology-based domain knowledge base to realize the sharing of domain knowledge. Manual building needs lots of repetitive work, which is inefficient and hard to migrate from one field to others. To solve the above problems, this paper presents an approach of domain ontology construction based on resource model and Jena. First, we use top-down strategy to build structure of the domain concepts, then discover the relations between concepts, instances and their properties, axioms and store them into documents as resource model. Second, the algorithm this paper presents is used to encode the ontology based on Jena. We had done the experiment in Yunnan tourism to prove the validity.
