Zhi# - OWL Aware Compilation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usefulness of the Web Ontology Language to describe domains of discourse and to facilitate automatic reasoning services has been widely acknowledged. However, the programmability of ontological knowledge bases is severely impaired by the di erent conceptual bases of statically typed object-oriented programming languages such as Java and C# and ontology languages such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL). In this work, a novel programming language is presented that integrates OWL and XSD data types with C#. The Zhi# programming language is the rst solution of its kind to make XSD data types and OWL class descriptions rst-class citizens of a widely-used programming language. The Zhi# programming language eases the development of Semantic Web applications and facilitates the use and reuse of knowledge in form of ontologies. The presented approach was successfully validated to reduce the number of possible runtime errors compared to the use of XML and OWL APIs.

OWL2Jess: A Transformational Implementation of the OWL Semantics
The wide scale usage of OWL for the formalization of real-world ontologies is currently influenced by important limitations which concern both its expressivity and the efficiency of OWL specific reasoning tools. While the expressivity limitations may be overcame by extending the OWL language (e.g. with rules), the reasoning with such heterogeneous knowledge bases is still an open issue. In this...
متن کاملFrom Program Execution to Automatic Reasoning: Integrating Ontologies into Programming Languages (Keynote)
Since their standardizations by the W3C, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and XML Schema Definition (XSD) have been widely adopted as a format to describe data and to define programming language agnostic data types and content models. Several other W3C standards such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) are based on XML and XSD. At the same time, s...
متن کاملSemantic and Syntactic modeling of component-based services for context-aware pervasive systems using OWL-S
In this paper, we present a service design methodology and specification as a basis for a pervasive context-aware service infrastructure. The service specification is based on the OWL-s specification, a standard proposed to add a semantic layer on top of WSDL web service descriptions. We have defined a set of OWL-s concepts that make it possible to express various pervasive service related prop...

The generation of Semantic Web services is a complex and error prone process. CODE, the system that we intend to demo, is an Integrated Development Environment that supports the developer through the whole process from the Java generation, to the compilation of OWL-S descriptions to the deployment and registration with UDDI.
متن کاملZhi# - programming language inherent support for ontologies
XML Schema Definition (XSD) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) have been widely used to define programming language independent data types and to conceptualize knowledge. However, writing software that operates on XML instance documents and on ontological knowledge bases still suffers from a lack of compile time support for XSD and OWL. In this paper, a novel compiler framework is presented th...
