Transformation of the Common Information Model to OWL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Managing an IT environment requires the exchange of structured data between different agents. The Common Information Model (CIM) is a comprehensive open standard that specifies how managed elements in an IT environment are modelled as a set of common objects and relationships between them. It has however limited support for knowledge interoperability and aggregation, as well as reasoning. By converting the existing CIM model into a format that can be processed by semantic web tools, these limitations can be overcome. This paper describes how CIM can be converted into a Web Ontology Language (OWL) ontology including constructs for which no obvious direct conversion exists, such as CIM qualifiers.

An Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)
Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
متن کاملAspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation
With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...
متن کاملTransformation of standardized clinical models based on OWL technologies: from CEM to OpenEHR archetypes
INTRODUCTION The semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) systems is a major challenge in the medical informatics area. International initiatives pursue the use of semantically interoperable clinical models, and ontologies have frequently been used in semantic interoperability efforts. The objective of this paper is to propose a generic, ontology-based, flexible approac...
متن کاملConceptual Modelling in UML and OWL-2
Both OWL-2 and UML static class diagrams lend themselves very well for conceptual modelling of complex information systems. Both languages have their advantages. In order to benefit from the advantages and software tools of both languages, it is usually necessary to repeat the modelling process for each language. We have investigated whether and how conceptual models written in one language can...
متن کاملAn Automated Transformation from OntoUML to OWL and SWRL
OntoUML and OWL are ontology languages appropriated to different knowledge representation levels. In order to have better knowledge representation and reasoning capabilities in OWL ontologies, an Ontology Engineering should be used – which corresponds to the transformation of a conceptual model ontology language, such as OntoUML, to a computational ontology language, such as OWL. This paper aim...
