Data Types in UML and OWL-2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both OWL-2 and UML static class diagrams lend themselves very well for conceptual modeling of complex information systems. To ease the choice between either of these languages it worthwhile to clarify the differences and similarities in the representation of different kinds of datatypes (primitive types, enumerations, complex datatypes, and generalization of datatypes) in static UML data models and OWL-2 ontologies. Where similarities allow a transformation of datatypes from one language into the other, we describe a possible transformation. Keywords—UML; OWL; datatypes; conceptual modeling

Conceptual Modelling in UML and OWL-2
Both OWL-2 and UML static class diagrams lend themselves very well for conceptual modelling of complex information systems. Both languages have their advantages. In order to benefit from the advantages and software tools of both languages, it is usually necessary to repeat the modelling process for each language. We have investigated whether and how conceptual models written in one language can...
متن کاملOWLGrEd: a UML Style Graphical Notation and Editor for OWL 2
There have been several attempts to visualize OWL ontologies with UML style diagrams. Unlike ODM approach of defining a UML profile for OWL, we propose an extension to UML class diagrams (hard extension) that allows a more compact OWL visualization. The compactness is achieved through the native power of UML class diagrams extended with optional Manchester encoding for class expressions thus av...
متن کاملTowards a Graphical Notation for OWL 2
The Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM) defines a set of UML metamodels and profiles for development of RDF and OWL. The UML profiles in the ODM specification adapt UML notations to provide a form of visual representation for RDF and OWL. Recently, the ODM Revision Task Force (RTF) has been focused on addressing remaining open issues and usability concerns that have arisen as implementations ma...
متن کاملOntology Based Semantic Metadata for Imagery and Gridded Data
Nowadays, huge volumes of imagery and gridded data are accessible. However they vary in formats and are stored at various organizations leading to problems of data discovery, data interoperability and usability. ISO19115, Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata and some other norms don’t provide enough provision for imagery and gridded data. UML and XML schema of metadata also don’t pr...
متن کاملA Comparison of UML and OWL in the Travel Domain
Recent research has focused towards determining the efficacy of using UML as an ontology modelling language [6, 7, 8, 12]. In this paper we compare the use of UML with the Web Ontology Language – OWL for modelling the travel domain. One conclusion resulting from this study is that OWL and UML were devised with different motivations, and for supporting different types of application domains. Owl...
