The creation of the puppetry ontology would allow not only a more informed and productive professional training, but also the capability of preserving and promoting water puppetry. Gathering water puppetry expert knowledge requires a deep study of puppetry history, background knowledge and performance. Hence, we analyze stories, background knowledge and performance of the water puppetry in the context of the Vietnamese general culture and legends. Especially, we emphasize on the issue of inconsistencies - a key challenge in ontology building. We also present a specific case study using DL-Lite for representation, reasoning and querying in presence of inconsistencies.} }
