Abstract

Nowadays in higher education, we create lots of documents and datasets for every activity. We have to maintain course, program, and syllabus information, and also the connections between the course themes. We can download some documentation for this information, but there are many questions difficult to answer. Also we can find some HR related or organizational issues. The authors are working for an ontology which is able to picture the connections between the actors of a higher education system. Their ontology is built with integrating some existing one, for example AIISO (Academic Institution Internal Structure Ontology), FOAF (Friend of a Friend) and DC (Dublin Core). The ontology has four connected parts. These can describe an organization with its internal structure, the program and courses of a University, the people connected with the organizations, the courses or some documents. The authors can also characterize course materials, such as documents, books, or multimedia contents and can connect the knowledge base with ERP systems also.
