Abstract
The huge amount of information available on the Internet (and intranets) and their unstructured nature are reaching a point that some actions have 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, but the lack of university ontology made the author to develop one. A case study was developed to validate the ontology at Ahlia University, Bahrain. The results are presented.
