Visual Modeling of OWL DL Ontologies Using UML
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a visual, UML-based notation for OWL ontologies. We provide a standard MOF2 compliant metamodel which captures the language primitives offered by OWL DL. Similarly, we invent a UML profile, which allows to visually model OWL ontologies in a notation that is close to the UML notation. This allows to develop ontologies using UML tools. Throughout the paper, the significant differences to some earlier proposals for a visual, UML-based notation for ontologies are discussed.

A Metamodel and UML Profile for Rule-extended OWL DL Ontologies – A Complete Reference
In this paper we present a MOF compliant metamodel and UML profile for the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) that integrates with our previous work on a metamodel and UML profile for OWL DL. Based on this metamodel and profile, UML tools can be used for visual modeling of rule-extended ontologies.

متن کاملA Model Driven Approach for Building OWL DL and OWL Full Ontologies
This paper presents an approach for visually modeling OWL DL and OWL Full ontologies based on the well-established visual modeling language UML. We discuss a metamodel for OWL based on the Meta-Object Facility, an associated UML profile as visual syntax, and transformations between both. The work we present supports modeldriven development of OWL ontologies and is currently undergoing the stand...

In this paper we present integrated MOF compliant metamodels and UML profiles for OWL DL, the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) and Ontology Mappings. Based on these metamodels and profiles, UML tools can be used for visual modeling of rule-extended ontologies and ontology mappings.
متن کاملRe-engineering OntoSem Ontology Towards OWL DL Compliance
Re-engineering of successful pre-OWL ontologies or other formal ER or UML system models towards OWL DL compliance opens new possibilities in ontology debugging, enabled by the formal semantics and automated reasoners developed for OWL DL, such as RacerPro and others. Meanwhile the transformation of pre-OWL ontologies to OWL DL is a challenging and interesting task, which we illustrate in this p...
