Using Goal Modeling and OntoUML for Reengineering the Good Relations Ontology

چکیده
Ontologies have been used as vehicles to assign semantics to data in several domains, since they represent a conceptualization about the domain of interest and establish a common vocabulary to be shared. For properly addressing the domain of interest and serving as a means to attribute meaning to data, ontology should provide a correct understanding of the domain conceptualization. This paper presents some results of an ontological analysis of the Good Relations Ontology (GRO). For the ontological analysis, we used Goal Modeling to delimitate the ontology scope and the Unified Foundational Ontology to analyze its conceptual model. Our analysis discovered several limitations that prevent GRO from properly addressing the domain of interest. Thus, we reengineered GRO to correct such limitations, and implemented it using OWL.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملTowards ontological foundations for conceptual modeling: The unified foundational ontology (UFO) story
This paper describes a long-term research program on developing ontological foundations for conceptual modeling. This program, organized around the theoretical background of the foundational ontology UFO (Unified Foundational Ontology), aims at developing theories, methodologies and engineering tools with the goal of advancing conceptual modeling as a theoretically sound discipline but also one...
متن کاملA Model-Based Tool for Conceptual Modeling and Domain Ontology Engineering in OntoUML
This paper presents a Model-Based graphical editor for supporting the creation of conceptual models and domain ontologies in a philosophically and cognitively well-founded modeling language named OntoUML. The Editor is designed in a way that, on one hand, it shields the user from the complexity of the ontological principles underlying this language. On the other hand, it reinforces these princi...
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...
