Ontology in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence: A Developer’s Practical Guide

How structured knowledge models power semantic systems, enterprise platforms, and next-generation AI applications. Introduction In modern software engineering and artificial intelligence, data alone is not enough. Systems need context, structure, and meaning to make reliable decisions. This is where ontology becomes essential. Ontology in computer science is more than an academic concept—it is a practical framework for organizing knowledge so machines can interpret relationships, reason about in
