# DNS Security Ontology (DSecO)

The **DSecO** project is a data model for representing and reasoning on Domain Name System (DNS) data.
The ontology is developed using web technologies (e.g. RDF, OWL, SKOS) and is intended as a structure for realizing a DNS Knowledge Graph (DNS-KG) for administration and security assessment applications.
The model has been developed in collaboration with operational teams, and in connection with third parties linked vocabularies.

The content of this code repository accompanies the research project explained in the following paper:

```bibtex

  title        = {{DSecO: Domain Name System (DNS) Data as a Knowledge Graph for Enhanced Security Analysis}},
  journal      = {IEEE Transactions on Networking},
  year         = 2025,
  doi          = {10.1109/TON.2025.3598374},
