Abstract
In accordance to Berners Lee, semantic web is an extension of the current web in which the existing information on the web are organized and encoded meaningfully using ontology language, thus enabling effective communication between machines and human. Ontology is the backbone of the semantic web that contributes to the knowledge sharing among intended parties over distributed systems. Ontology development is a domain-oriented process. In this work, we developed a family ontology using Protégé, an open source tool to represent family structure with minimal asserted family relationships and maximal inference. We provide dictionary table, binary relation, logical axioms, and SWRL rules tables to show the development process. We also check its consistency by running a series of tests, executed by heterogeneous reasoners available in Protégé.
