Ontology Formation and Comparison for Syllabus Structure Using NLP

Ontologies are largely responsible for the creation of a framework or taxonomy for a particular domain which represents the shared knowledge, concepts and how these concepts are related with each other. This paper shows the usage of ontology for the comparison of a syllabus structure of universities. This is done with the extraction of the syllabus, creation of ontology for the representing syllabus, then parsing the ontology and applying Natural language processing to remove unwanted information. After getting the appropriate ontologies, a comparative study is made on them. Restrictions are made over the extracted syllabus to the subject “Software Engineering” for convenience. This depicts the collection and management of ontology knowledge and processing it in the right manner to get the desired insights.
