To present the biodiversity information, a semantic model is required that connects all kinds of data about living creatures and their habitats. The model must be able to encode human knowledge for machines to be understood. Ontology offers the richest machine-interpretable (rather than just machine-processable) and explicit semantics that are being extensively used in the biodiversity domain. Various ontologies are developed for the biodiversity domain however a review of the current landscape shows that these ontologies are not capable to define the Indian biodiversity information though India is one of the megadiverse countries. To semantically analyze the Indian biodiversity information, it is crucial to build an ontology that describes all the essential terms of this domain from the unstructured format of the data available on the web. Since, the curation of the ontologies heavily depends on the domain where these are implemented hence there is no ideal methodology is defined yet to be ready for universal use. The aim of this article is to develop an ontology that semantically encodes all the terms of Indian biodiversity information in all its dimensions based on the proposed methodology. The comprehensive evaluation of the proposed ontology depicts that ontology is well built in the specified domain.

The covid19 pandemic is a global emergency that badly impacted the economies of various countries. Covid19 hit India when the growth rate of the country was at the lowest in the last 10 years. To semantically analyze the impact of this pandemic on the economy, it is curial to have an ontology. CIDO ontology is a well standardized ontology that is specially designed to assess the impact of coronavirus disease and utilize its results for future decision forecasting for the government, industry experts, and professionals in the field of various domains like research, medical advancement, technical innovative adoptions, and so on. However, this ontology does not analyze the impact of the Covid19 pandemic on the Indian banking sector. On the other side, Covid19IBO ontology has been developed to analyze the impact of the Covid19 pandemic on the Indian banking sector but this ontology does not reflect complete information of Covid19 data. Resultantly, users cannot get all the relevant information about Covid19 and its impact on the Indian economy. This article aims to extend the CIDO ontology to show the impact of Covid19 on the Indian economy sector by reusing the concepts from other data sources. We also provide a simplified schema matching approach that detects the overlapping information among the ontologies. The experimental analysis proves that the proposed approach has reasonable results.
