The realibity and validity scientometrics conceptual model has been approved by experts in the field of scientometrics. The tool for building ontology is Protégé 5 software. The used methodology was Bermejo method (2007) with some change. The results revealed that Ontology of scientometrics was formed in eleven major class which has 20 relationship and 100 individual.
