Abstract :
Technology foresight is an emergent tool for technology policy making both at national and business levels. This research takes advantage of the knowledge representation technique known as ontology to categorize the things that are assumed to exist in a specific technology domain. Technology foresight model is developed in this paper without any detail about the embedded concepts. Each country can use this model for its technology development and policy making after local customizations.
