This paper h ighlights the explicit description about concept of ontology which is concerned with the development and methodology involved in building ontology.The concept of ontologies has contributed to the development of Semantic Web where Semantic Web is an extension of the current World Wide Web in which informat ion is given in a well-defined mean ing that translates the given unstructured data into knowledgeable representation data thus enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.Thus, we can say that Semantic Web is information in mach ine understandable form.It is also called as Global Information Mesh (GIM).Semantic Web technology can be used to deal with challenges including traditional search engines and retrieval techniques within given organizations or for ecommerce applications whose initial focus is on professional users.Ontology represents informat ion in a manner so that this information can also be us ed by mach ines not only for d isplaying, but also for automating, integrating, and reusing the same informat ion across various applications which may include Artificial Intelligence, Informat ion Ret rieval (IR) and many more.Ontology is defined as a collection of set of concepts, their defin itions and the relat ionships among them represented in a hierarchical manner that is termed as Taxonomy.There are various tools available for developing ontologies like Ho zo, DOM L, and AltovaSemantic Works etc.We have used proté gé which is one of the most widely used ontology development editor that defines ontology concepts (classes), properties, taxono mies, various restrictions and class instances.It also supports several ontology representation languages, including OW L. There are various versions of proté gé available like WebProtege 2.0 beta, Proté gé 3.4.8,Proté gé 4.1 etc.In this paper, we have illustrated ontology development using proté gé 3.1 by giv ing an examp le o f Co mputer Science Depart ment of University System.It may be useful for future researchers in making ontology on proté gé version 3.1.
