The research procedure is divided into two phases. The first phase is the development of the system architecture of data warehousing with ontologies to enhance digital entrepreneurs’ competencies for higher education design, while the second phase is the evaluation of the architecture by experts. The 5 individuals chosen were experts in the field of Information Technology and higher education chosen by purposive sampling. The data collection tools were the system and the assessment of an appropriate model using a 5-level rating scale. The statistics used in the data analysis were means and standard deviation. The results showed that 1) the system architecture of data warehousing with ontologies to enhance digital entrepreneurs’ competencies for higher education consists of 4 tiers a) the data source b) the data warehouse tier c)the ontology-driven framework tier and d) the progression model tier 2) the expert opinions on the system developed were that it was most appropriate.
