Semantic Representation of Balinese Traditional Dance

Bali is an island in Indonesia that is rich in culture, an example of that culture is the traditional dance. The traditional dance performance is diverse from one village to another village in Bali. The traditional Balinese dance knowledge should be captured dan documented well in a digital form so that it can be shared easily to different people and generations across the world. The use of ontology as an information representation technique is the preferred solution in this matter because ontology can be used to enhance the development of semantic applications, especially when dealing with semantic webs. In this project, the ontology was built using the Protege ontology development tool. We follow the methontology ontology development method where this methodology clearly describes each of its activities. In this study, we focus to describe variants of Balinese traditional dance. In the future, we expect that more types of dance can be documented using our proposed ontology.
