Abstract
Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art that has a structured knowledge base that includes stances, methods, directions, target locations, and strategies. For motion analysis, intelligent training systems, semantic querying, and digital archiving, transforming information into a machine-readable and comprehensible format is essential. This paper describes how to construct a Karate domain ontology using Semantic Web standards to explain important Karate concepts. Web Ontology Language (OWL) over the Protege tool is used to develop the ontology. The ontology and developed frontend form a structured framework that includes processes, anatomical regions, positions, instructions, tactics, and target areas, and object properties, showing how they are related to each other semantically. The proposed ontology provides a formal and flexible basis for future computational research and applications utilizing information in the Karate domain.The results show that the ontology that was developed improves hierarchical reasoning and semantic querying. This facilitates the acquisition of information regarding karate in a more structured manner.
