Paper Abstract:	There is no centralized system to undertake the management of academic records of federal educational institutions in Brazil, each one developed its solution within an environment in which there are several semantic vaguenesses. This context produces difficulties to the Ministry of Education to generate indicators that assist the management of Brazilian education. Thus, there is a need to develop a solution that semantically harmonizes the information generated by these educational institutions. To help solve this problem we propose the development of an ontology that performs the semantic mapping of the field of academic records of the Brazilian educational model. This ontology can serve as the semantic basis for the adjustment and development of data collection software’s from the Ministry of Education of Brazil, as well as the academic management systems of each federal institution of education. However, before it is necessary to select or develop appropriate ontology development methodology for the domain of academic records of federal teaching institutions. This paper surveys the literature to identify the methodologies for creating ontologies and evaluates them in order to indicate the most appropriate for use in the construction of this ontology.
