A Model Driven Approach for Building OWL DL and OWL Full Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach for visually modeling OWL DL and OWL Full ontologies based on the well-established visual modeling language UML. We discuss a metamodel for OWL based on the Meta-Object Facility, an associated UML profile as visual syntax, and transformations between both. The work we present supports modeldriven development of OWL ontologies and is currently undergoing the standardization process of the Object Management Group. After describing our approach, we present the implementation of our approach and an example, showing how the metamodel and UML profile can be used to improve developing Semantic Web applications.

The TDDonto Tool for Test-Driven Development of DL Knowledge bases
Adding knowledge to an ontology lacks a verification step by the modeller in most cases, other than ‘try and see what the reasoner says about it’. This is due to the lack of a systematic testbed for ontology authoring. Reusing the notion of Test-Driven Development (TDD) from software engineering for ontology development resulted in the specification of 42 test types for the SROIQ language featu...
متن کاملWSML Deliverable D 20 . 1 v 0 . 2 OWL −
This deliverable presents restricted variants of the OWL Lite, DL and Full species of the OWL ontology language, called OWL Lite−, OWL DL− and OWL Full−, respectively. OWL Lite− and OWL DL− are strict subsets of OWL Lite and OWL DL. They are limited in such a way that there exists a translation from both languages directly into the deductive database language Datalog. Thus, any OWL Lite− or OWL...
متن کاملPushing the FMA-OWL enveloppe further
Representing the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) in OWL 2 W3C standard, is essential for its interoperability with other biomedical ontologies, its design, maintenance, and quality insurance. The paper describes the method and ‘FMA-OWLizer’ tool that moves the FMA to OWL 2. One main strength of the approach is to leverage OWL expressiveness to explicit some implicit semantics and naming con...
متن کاملA Protégé Plugin for Querying and Reasoning on Persistent OWL Ontologies
The OWL language [1] is being widely used to define ontologies in the Web. This language provides three increasingly expressive sublanguages, namely OWL Lite, OWL-DL and OWL Full. The OWL-DL XML based syntax together with its correspondence with Description Logics (DL) [2], make it a good candidate to be the standard language for defining ontologies used by Semantic Web applications. However, t...
متن کاملSKOS with OWL: Don't be Full-ish!
The Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS) is a vocabulary intended for the representation of Knowledge Organisation Systems (KOS) such as thesauri, term lists and controlled vocabularies. The SKOS data model is defined using an RDF schema so that it fits in with existing Semantic Web technologies. We speculate how SKOS artefacts may be used in combination with other knowledge artefacts, s...
