Abstract:
Within the past several years, Linked Open Data has reached a significant position in the Web, allowing for
a significant increase of structured data in this domain. Although this, there are a lot to be done in order to
ensure an effective way for supporting publication of connected open data. One of the strongest research and
development line in this area appeals to the use of ontologies for structuring data and their relationships.
Ontologies can be modeled for organizing knowledge about a domain, facilitating its sharing and reuse. As
such, we have been developed an ontology especially oriented to support the organizational structure of higher
education institutions in Brazil. This ontology was prepared for measuring and providing essential concepts
and reference models that can be used by different stakeholders to develop and use ontologies and
vocabularies for the National Higher Education Assessment System in Brazil. In this paper we present and
discuss the most releva
nt aspects we approached during the conceptualization and development of the referred
ontology.
