OWL-based Construction of Network Management Domain Ontology

In order to solve problems concerning semantic description in network management information,an OWL-based approach of constructing network management ontology had been presented by researching ontology,OWL ontology language and description logic.First the domain expert obtains the currently available knowledge in the network management domain,then he defines the class,property,instances and axiom and formalizes the ontology in OWL.Finally,through experimental validation in which Protege is used to construct partial ontology of LAN,the result showed that the approach is feasible.
