It leads to improving people's education on allergy to prevent allergy diseases. Because, allergy is spontaneous and it can occur anytime during the year or last year around. This allergy ontology is constructed through protégé to accomplish the system properly and to attain effective results. It covers most salient classes and their properties and restrictions to represent domain knowledge. At the end of this paper, HermiT reasoner was used to check inconsistency and SPARQL queries used to obtain required information.
