Abstract :
The ontology approach is used as the basis of a Computing Curricula Management System. Owing to the limitations of the Protégé platform, manipulation of ontological knowledge was found to be limited. A customized Application Programming Interface (API) is proposed to improve the knowledge manipulation and extraction capabilities of the system. However, the API can only operate effectively if the ontology is treated as an XML document. This paper discusses the API design and development. It then concludes with its contribution, limitation and future work.
