Information seeking, gathering and processing has become the sixth sense of individuals,rnorganizations, consortia and nations. Today, information is represented and accessed inrnmyriad forms across range of domain areas and cultural horizons. For most, the WorldrnWide Web (WWW) is considered as a single and indispensable source of information.rnCurrently, keyword-based search engines allow sifting through loads of information inrnWWW so as to arrive at relevant query results. However, substantial amount of irrelevantrnquery results chiefly due to blind information representation scheme to culture,rnspecialized domain of interest, and natural language datasets sees through the birthrnsemantic web. Semantic web advocates exploiting conceptual hierarchies, relationshipsrndefined within and associated logical axioms for a more focused set of query results. Itrnemploys ontologies for expediting the knowledge representation endeavor in this respect.rnVarious studies conducted in the context of semantic web show that variations inrnspectrum of culture and domain of interest affect the way information is represented andrnaccessed. In the same vein, it has been noted that devising and formalizing ontology forrncapturing the extremities of knowledge confined in such avenues is an exalted challenge.rnTo this end, we have chosen Ethiopic Church Manuscript, Art and Music domain area sornas to investigate and analyze issues surrounding the representation of Ethiopic conceptsrnwithin the context of semantic web. Salient ontologies namely- manuscript, art, music,rnfeast, time, date and number ontologies- are abstracted after careful scrutiny of relatedrnontologies and usage of suitable ontology development methodology. Acquisition andrndigitization of representative data samples for classes of concepts and provision of arnmodel for storage and retrieval of information related to the domain of interest, is alsornentertained. Furthermore, an experiment for evaluation of ontologies abstracted andrnmodel proposed is conducted by implementing a form-based semantic search engine andrncomparison of query results with that of keyword-based search engines. Initial resultsrnshows that the devised ontologies aloft the searching process in the domain area as wellrnas unveil set aside issues, specific to Ethiopic concepts within the context of semanticrnweb.
