Delay is a common problem of construction sector. Recent improvements in the sector increased the competition and this led the construction projects to be more complex than before and difficult to be completed in time. This situation not only increased the delay problems, but also made the analysis of delays difficult and that caused further problems as disputes between parties to the contract. Sound knowledge in delay analysis subject is needed to enhance the solution of the delay problem in construction projects. So, this study aims to share knowledge in delay analysis issue by construction of a delay analysis ontology that provides direct and comprehensive knowledge. The constructed ontology may ease the information sharing process and provide a base for the usage of information in computers for different purposes especially in risk and claim management processes. It may enable companies to create their own knowledge bases and decision support systems that may achieve improvement in the knowledge and its usability. To meet this objective, detailed literature review on delay subject is carried out and an ontology on delay analysis issue is created. The created ontology is validated through its comparison with three different case studies.
