Abstract The knowledge representation framework–Ontology has an important role in instructional design and the development of courses in e-Learning. Ontology can be used to represent knowledge about content. Instructors can utilise this in creating content of the courses in e-Learning and learners can avail this in accessing content in a knowledge guided way. The application of ontology for the educational context is still unclear. For numerous subjects, ontology does not exist. We have taken the course software engineering as the case study in this regard. The domain experts are mainly focused here to develop ontology to use in the delivery of course content. The relationship types are mainly concentrated here which helps us to model the domain more efficiently. The implementation of the work is done using Protégé 4.1 beta version.
