Abstract
This paper suggests an ontology for task and quality control mechanisms representation in crowdsourcing systems. The ontology is built to provide reasoning about tasks and quality control mechanisms to improve tasks and quality management in crowdsourcing. The ontology is formalized in OWL (Web Ontology Language) and implemented using Protégé. The developed ontology consists of 19 classes, 7 object properties, and 32 data properties. The development methodology of the ontology involves three phases including Specification (identifying scope, purpose and competency questions), Conceptualization (data dictionary, UML, and instance creation), and finally Implementation and Evaluation
