Food security in Indonesia is influenced by the dynamics of production, distribution, and availability between regions. However, many existing information systems still rely on conventional data structures without semantic integration, which limits interoperability and hinders interregional analysis. To address this gap, this study developed an ontology model based on the Web Ontology Language (OWL) that formally represents the relationships between food production, commodity characteristics, distribution flows, food insecurity conditions, and geographical context. The ontology was built using Protégé through stages of literature review, official data collection from BPS, FAO, and the Ministry of Agriculture, conceptual model design, implementation, and evaluation. Conceptual validation was conducted through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with food supply chain experts to ensure the suitability of the ontology structure and the actual conditions of the national food system. The technical evaluation involved consistency testing using the Pellet reasoner and Competency Question (CQ) testing through SPARQL queries to assess the ontology's ability to respond to essential information needs. The resulting ontology consists of five core classes (FoodProduction, FoodItem, FoodDistribution, FoodSecurityStatus, and GeographicRegion) which collectively represent the semantic structure of Indonesia's food supply chain. The evaluation results show that the ontology is structurally consistent and capable of producing outputs that are in line with CQ, including the retrieval of production-distribution information and the initial identification of commodity surpluses and deficits based on instance data. These findings indicate that the developed ontology provides a coherent semantic foundation for modeling food systems and has strong potential to support the development of knowledge-based food security management applications.
