Ontology Design towards Web Intelligence : A Sports Complex Ontology Case Study

As we are aware that for fulfilling the dream of an intelligent web, an Ontology may act as a backbone and it's significance may not be denied for realizing the vision of semantic web to add semantics or computer understandable data to the existing human readable web inorder to facilitate a more efficient knowledge use or reuse on a sharable basis on web. It means that Ontology enables to structure and conceptualize the shared knowledge of a particular domain on web but the major challenging problem is the huge decentralized nature of web which does not permit to have a single large ontology but left with the possibility of having several smaller ontologies which are difficult to implement and manage. Now, Ontology has several critical aspects where Ontology design and development is one of the fundamental key issues which may be best realized with the help of a case study. In this paper, a case study of a "Sports Complex Ontology" is presented using ontology editor SWOOP 2.3 Beta 4 presenting Ontology Statistics with some results or observations. What makes it different from others is it's key aspects which include: design criteria pictorial representation along with the key steps and it's relevance with research issues like Semantic Search patterns based on "Structure", the details being out of scope of this paper.
