This article describes and demonstrates a tool developed to reduce the subjective aspect inherent to archival classification, making it more consistent. Taking into account that classification errors can affect several other archival functions, especially appraisal and description, we’ve developed a software that we called Ontological Classifier (OntoClass). This software, through the creation of an ontology based on the classification scheme of a corporate body, is able to determine the class to which a document belongs based on terms arranged in a list. The theoretical basis was carried out through a bibliographic research and the development of the tool was made using the Python 3.7 programming language and the SPARQL query language. We conclude that although OntoClass reaches its goal, it is still necessary to test it in real situations and there are some requirements that must be met in order to achieve the desired results.
