Model Driven Specification of Ontology Translations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The alignment of different ontologies requires the specification, representation and execution of translation rules. The rules need to integrate translations at the lexical, the syntactic and the semantic layer requiring semantic reasoning as well as low-level specification of adhoc conversions of data. Existing formalisms for representing translation rules cannot cover the representation needs of these three layers in one model. We propose a metamodel-based representation of ontology alignments that integrate semantic translations using description logics and lower level translation specifications into one model of representation for ontology alignments.

The Distributed Ontology, Modeling and Specification Language – DOL
There is a diversity of ontology languages in use, among them OWL, RDF, OBO, Common Logic, and F-logic. Related languages such as UML class diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams and object role modelling provide bridges from ontology modelling to applications, e.g. in software engineering and databases. Also in model-driven engineering, there is a diversity of diagrams: UML consists of 15 diff...
متن کاملTowards Ontology-driven Requirements Engineering
Requirements Engineering has a huge impact on success or failure of a software project. However, the acquisition, specification and evolution of goals and requirements from different stakeholders or sources often leads to incomplete, ambiguous, and faulty requirements. Therefore, the ability to detect and repair inconsistent and incomplete requirements is crucial to the successful modelling of ...
متن کاملThe OWL in the CASL - Designing Ontologies Across Logics
In this paper, we show how the web ontology language OWL can be accommodated within the larger framework of the heterogeneous common algebraic specification language HETCASL. Through this change in perspective, OWL can benefit from various useful HETCASL features concerning structuring, modularity, and heterogeneity. This tackles a major problem area in ontology engineering: re-use of ontologie...
متن کاملAn Ontological Framework for User-Driven System Specification
User-driven specification of network information systems is required in many virtual professional communities, such as research networks. This paper introduces a method and an accompanying tool being developed to support the legitimate user-driven specification of network information systems. The need for method ontologies, organized in an ontological framework, is motivated. A key part of this...
متن کاملMapping SDL Specification Fundamentals to Core SDL Ontology
This paper gives a contribution in the efforts of Semantic web ontology development. We have developed the core ontology for Specification and Description Language (SDL), an object-oriented, formal language defined by the International Telecommunications Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) as recommendation Z.100. The language is intended for the specification of complex, ev...
