The Quranic Ontology uses knowledge representation to define key concepts in the Quran and show their relationships using predicate logic. The ontology is based on traditional Quranic analysis, including the hadīth of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the tafsīr of Ibn Kathīr. Named entities in verses, such as historic people and places, are linked to concepts in the ontology through named entity tagging.
The ontology is a graph of 300 linked concepts and 350 relations, providing a structured map of Quranic knowledge. Ontology topics are sourced from Quran corpus project.
Thematic topics are grouped into three major themes, each highlighting a different dimension of Quranic teachings:
General topics cover a wide range of Quranic subjects that don’t fall directly under Ontology or Thematic categories. These provide an accessible entry point for readers to explore various aspects of the Quran.
