Development of ontology for information literary

It has been 20 years since the Internet, Internet crimes have been moving to the second stage in recent years. The awareness raising activities that are being conducted by various industry associations greatly contribute to reducing the troubles that are taking place now; these activities are to be favorably evaluated to a certain extent. However, they fall short of establishing systematic knowledge or leading to systematic learning to proactively prevent damage that could occur in the future. The field of "information" is still new and even the definition of information is not well known. The present study therefore defines what "information" is and clarifies the concept of the capacity of reading and writing information (information literacy). The aim of this paper is to develop ontology for information literacy, which is paramount for everyone to create a future in the field of "information" and acquire the wisdom to proactively prevent troubles that could take place in the future.
