Ontology Transformation and Reasoning for Model-Driven Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
Model-driven Architecture (MDA) is a software architecture framework proposed by the Object Management Group OMG. MDA emphasises the importance of modelling in the architectural design of service-based software systems. Ontologies can enhance the modelling aspects here. We present ontology-based transformation and reasoning techniques for a layered, MDA-based modelling approach. Different ontological frameworks shall support domain modelling, architectural modelling and interoperability. Ontologies are beneficial due to their potential to formally define and automate transformations and to allow reasoning about models at all stages. Ontologies are suitable in particular for the Web Services platform due to their ubiquity within the Semantic Web and their application to support semantic Web services.

An 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...
متن کاملOntology-Based Composition and Transformation for Model-Driven Service Architecture
Building service-based architectures has become a major area of interest since the advent of Web services. Modelling these architectures is a central activity. Model-driven architecture is a recent approach to developing software systems based on the idea of making models the central artifacts for design representation, analysis, and code generation. We propose an ontology-based composition and...

متن کاملBringing Ontology Awareness into Model Driven Engineering Platforms
In state-of-the-art of MDE platforms semantic technologies such as ontologies are rarely used. Our aim is to understand the role of ontologies in supporting model-driven engineering, in particular MDE platforms. MDE platforms may benefit from semantic technologies in formal model semantics and automated reasoning on different levels of the metamodelling architecture. We present an ontology-awar...
