Developing Human Family Tree using SWRL Rules

Ontology represents explicit specification of knowledge in a specific domain of interest in the form of concepts and relations among them. This paper represents a Human Family Tree Ontology that is designed in two main stages. The first stage covers the domain of the human biological family tree that includes personal information of each person such as name, health history which includes lifestyle habits, blood group, diseases that they have been or are suffering from. The second stage includes SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) Rules that are helpful in expressing the rich semantic knowledge encoded in the ontology. For this various rules are designed. The ontology is developed using Ontology Web Language and Protege editing tool. Several inputs are given for the testing of well execution of ontology.
