1. INTRODUCTION
The software engineering ontology defines information for the exchange of semantic project information and is used as a communication framework. In the area of computer science, Ontology represents the effort to formulate an exhaustive and rigorous conceptual schema within a given domain. Several Ontology languages such as Resource Description Framework (RDF), Web Ontology Language, DARPA Markup Language and Ontology Interchange Language (OIL) are available.

2. Ontology in software engineering
In the area of computer science, Ontology represents the effort to formulate an exhaustive and rigorous conceptual schema within a given domain. Based on a particular problem domain, a particular software domain only a part of the whole set of software engineering concepts. These concepts used for particular software development projects which represent a software engineering sub domains are captured in the Ontology. The general software engineering knowledge represents all the concepts of software engineering. Specific software engineering knowledge represents only some concepts of software engineering for the particular problem domain. For a particular project, there exist domain, sub-domain and instance knowledge’s. Domain knowledge is the knowledge of the entire subject. Sub-domain knowledge is just a part of the domain knowledge. The instance knowledge is the one which is actually required while doing a project.

...ftware engineering ontology. There are many improvements that can be made in future with the help of software engineering ontology. Due to the introduction of new concepts to the software engineering domain knowledge, the existing terms have been modified with time. The scope for this study is zero.
