Abstract

Teaching content directly impacts the quality of individual courses and subjects, ultimately shaping the overall training quality. Training programs, in turn, play an important role in contributing to the university’s quality culture, brand, and reputation. Consequently, managing and developing university-level training programs is vital for the survival and growth of a university. Our study focuses on developing the ULTPOnt ontology suitable for representing training program frameworks and relevant components. This paper begins by introducing the ULTPOnt ontology. We then present additional axioms that we incorporated into ULTPOnt to bolster the validation of curriculum designs’ correctness. Finally, the CORESE semantic engine is utilized to show how our ontology can handle complex questions using SPARQL queries. This lets us retrieve specific information about training programs. As far as we know, this is a new way to represent university training programs using ontology.
