ABSTRACT
Considered part of artificial intelligence, ontologies became a technique over and over used
in the analysis of informational systems from different domains. Because it enables
description of structural characteristics and semantic in simple relative terms, and in WEB
semantic conditions, facilitates the knowledge sharing between the different users. Ontologies
bring a plus of knowledge in relation with "traditional" formalisms (Entity-Relationship
model, Object-Oriented model, etc.). This article presents the formals specific to ontologies
and proposes a relative ontology of the enterprise through the light of users' information on
WEB.
KEYWORDS: Informational systems, knowledge designing and management, ontologies,

INTRODUCTION
In the present conditions, when the informational organizations area is subjected to
outstanding dynamics, analysis and modeling of informational systems invoke the
existence of advanced techniques and methodologies, to allow as much of related
activities are carried out automatically by means of appropriate software tools. To
achieve such an aim the applications software or computers in general, to become able
to "understand" all of the data or information exchanged, so that the analyst to be
discharged from routine activities or irrelevant.
The adoption of Internet specific technologies by most organizations has led to the
increasing interdependence of their reason for modeling and designing information
systems, a conceptual framework of the current ad (possibly standardized) common,
reusable and sufficiently flexible. Such an objective can be achieved only through
abstract universal formalisms, and completely independent of implementation
techniques.
The two objectives mentioned above, have become the artificial intelligence object
study, more precisely of the knowledge representation systems, which offers a
technique focused on the ontology term, a concept taken from the philosophy by
which it is assigned to the branch of philosophy what is studying the traits of
existence (Romanian Academy, Institute of Linguistics "Iorgu Iordan", 1998). In
