The Semantics Web is a vision for the future of the Web in which informati on is given explicit meaning, making it easier for machines to automatically pro cess and integrate information available on the Web. An ontology defines the terms used to describe and represent an area of knowledg e. Ontologies are used by people, databases, and applications that need to share domain information (a domain is just a specific subject area or area of knowled ge, like medicine, tool manufacturing, real estate, automobile repair, financial management, etc.). The amount of data caused by the success of Internet is demanding methodologies an d tools to automatically extract unknown and potentially useful knowledge out of it, generating structured representations with that knowledge. The main goal of this paper is to present comprehensive introduction into MDA-based ontology development. It will provide an introduction to the field of the Semantics Web and ontology engineering, a description of several UML- and metamodeling- based solutions and tools for ontology development.
