The huge amount of information available on the internet (and intranets) and its unstructured nature is reaching a point that some actions has to be taken in order to ease the use of queries within a web search engine. The introduction of order/organization and structure is necessary for the process of this information. One-step toward this goal is the use of ontologies for specific areas/domains. The word ontology is becoming widespread and its use in organizing the web is gaining momentum. Many scientists are working on semantic webs, which are considered as intelligent and meaningful webs. The lack of university ontology made me develop such one. A case study was developed to validate my ontology: Ahlia University, Bahrain. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
