Akshi Kumar, Arunima Joshi · 2016
Ontologies enable both humans and machines to communicate precisely to support the exchange of semantics by defining shared collective domain knowledge. In this paper we build an ontology using Protege to organize knowledge of Indian Government portal. IndiGov-O, the ontology of Indian Government is a 4-level hierarchy in which various ministries of India, their respective departments and further functions and schemes have been conceptualized. The idea is to envision "digital governance" by virtue of social web adoption to a government model based on knowledge.
