Abstract
This article is devoted to the tasks of ontological engineering in the field of school education. Based on the proposed approach to ontology design in the field of school mathematics, the OntoMathEdu educational multilingual mathematical ontology has been developed for the school planimetry course. The features of the organization of educational ontologies that reflect the specifics of subject education in different countries, including the consideration of teaching methods and the language of study, are considered. The specific features of the organization of the subject area make it possible to take into account, among other things, the level of training of students. To solve these problems, a new structure for organizing ontologies with educational projections, educational levels, and prerequisites is proposed.
