In the contemporary world, every aspect of human endeavour can be represented by collection of well-defined associated entities that can have the same semantic representation when dealing with concepts in a particular knowledge domain. One of the effective tools of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is commonly employed to formalize such domain knowledge concepts and their relation in the design of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is ontology. In Artificial Intelligence field, the term ontology is defined as a representation of the entities in a domain and the way those entities relate to each other. The technique is widely used in the development of AI applications to model the concepts in a particular domain of knowledge, in other words, ontology is employed to represent concepts, classes and attributes that commonly exist in a particular domain and their relationships.
