description The increasing importance of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has led to the development of various applications, resulting in significant fragmentation in technologies, components, and data formats. The UAS domain must meet stringent requirements regarding safety, regulatory compliance, and interoperability with other systems. It also faces challenges such as efficiency, airspace sharing, scalability, awareness of other aircraft, and effective data analysis. Semantic technologies provide solutions for these challenges, offering interoperability and intelligent decision-making. Ontologies stand out for their ability to model knowledge and facilitate understanding within the UAS domain. This paper introduces Dronetology, https://dronetology.net/dronetology, a domain ontology designed to provide a common framework for UAS concepts. It aims to improve interoperability, data quality, and knowledge integration. Dronetology has been implemented in a decision support prototype using an expert system architecture to address complex UAS use cases, including flight efficiency, collision avoidance, and compliance with regulations. We also outline how Dronetology can be specialized to create application ontologies for specific UAS needs.
