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.

In this survey paper we summarize the requirements for rule interchange languages for applications in the legal domain and use these requirements to evaluate RuleML, SBVR, SWRL and RIF. We also present the Legal Knowledge Interchange Format (LKIF), a new rule interchange format developed specifically for applications in the legal domain.

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.

This paper describes the implementation of a Smart Campus application prototype that integrates heterogeneous data using semantic technologies. The prototype is based on a lightweight semantic architecture that facilitates semantic data access and integration using OWL, SWRL and SPARQL. The focus of the paper is on the prototype implementation and the lessons learned from its development.

syntax for Horn-like rules. The SWRL as the form, antecedentconsequent, where both antecedent and consequent are conjunctions of atoms written a1^ ... ^ an. Atoms in rules can be of the form C(x), P(x,y), Q(x,z), sameAs(x,y), differentFrom(x,y), or builtIn(pred, z1, …, zn), where C is an OWL description, P is an OWL individual-valued property, Q is an OWL data-valued property, pred is a dataty...

The advent of regulatory compliance requirements such as Sarbanes Oxley Act has forced enterprises to set up a process for managing an effective internal controls system. We propose the introduction of a semantic layer in which the process instances are interpreted according to the required compliance controls represented as rules. We analyze in this paper the requirements for the implementatio...

In this paper we address several issues of rule modeling on the basis of UML. We discuss the relationship between UML class models and OWL vocabularies. We show how certain rules can be specified in a class diagram with the help of OCL. We also show how rule concepts can be described, and how the abstract syntax of RDF, OWL, SWRL and RuleML can be defined, by means of UML class diagrams in a co...
