Knowledge organization (KO) is a core subject in Library and Information Science (LIS) studies. Classification, cataloguing, and indexing traditionally formed its backbone. The faceted classification schemes with some variations are being used to classify documents on topics at micro level. With the uncontrollable flow of information on the Internet, there is an urgent need to capture and organize the information so as to retrieve it in a meaningful way. ontology is one of the tools for study in LIS. The present paper gives a brief overview of ontology for organizing the vast stock of knowledge on the internet with the view to bringing conceptual understanding.Keywords
