Its knowledge representation formalisms, gains, tools, building principles and techniques and applications are detailed. It is also presented the main ontology application: the Semantic Web with its languages and standards, which will constitute then basis for the expansion of electronic commerce and a more accurate and intelligent treatment of information in the Web.
