Culture plays a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of the world, guiding our interactions, and influencing our behavior. In African societies, culture often lies at the heart of social cohesion and collective identity, providing a sense of belonging and a framework for social navigation. This paper presents an ontology of culture, with a focus on African culture, and specifically on the system of joking kinship in Burkina Faso. The ontology covers various aspects of culture including art, religion, mythology, cuisine, history, education, economy, social structure, and locality. The ontology is designed to provide a framework for representing, analyzing, and understanding culture, with the aim of promoting social cohesion and preserving cultural heritage. The ontology is enriched with properties and object properties, including a unique object property representing the system of joking kinship, a traditional social relationship that fosters tolerance, facilitates conflict resolution, and contributes to social harmony. The ontology is designed to be used in conjunction with Semantic Web technologies to support various applications related to cultural events and practices.
