Abstract: This article proposes OntoAthena, an ontology to represent knowledge in the domain of intelligent services for e-learning. The purpose of the proposed ontology is to support educational practices and provide intelligent services, helping managers, teachers and students in the teaching and learning process. OntoAthena was specified through Ontology Development 101 and implemented in Protégé 5.5.0. The ontology has 22 classes, 70 sub-classes, 41 object properties and 30 data properties. Four competency questions were used for assessment. The results obtained demonstrated the correct classification of the instances in the OntoAthena. As scientific contribution, this study presents the first ontology to support intelligent services for e-learning.
