This paper proposes an ontology-based approach for comparing software products modelled with UML. An ontology is used that defines the structure of all software products developed so far or even all products that can be developed using the specified architecture. Using such an ontology the models of different software products can be compared more effectively. 1. Problems in Comparing UML Model...

Today, model-driven development is getting more sophisticated and can be used for modeling enterprises and developing application systems. Since current interoperability solutions operate essentially at a syntactical level, technologies have to be developed enabling interoperability based on middleware, and development platforms have to be enriched with machine-understandable semantics. Our app...

In this article, I will transform an ontology representing higher education and a library into the RelOntoUML model. modeling is created from combination of relational model, ontology, UML modeling. The model used for database storage. data stored in relations. Ontology tool knowledge representation. describes elements topic. visually represents One disadvantages that software developers are no...

This paper is interested in the ontology learning from relational databases (RDB) that exploits already approved semantics about a domain and translates them to application ontology. However, the relational model is recognized to be less expressive and incapable to support some conceptualizations. Without an explicit model of the domain semantics in the relational model, the automatic learning ...

As more people from non-technical backgrounds are becoming directly involved with large-scale ontology development, the focal point of ontology research has shifted from the more theoretical ontology issues to problems associated with the actual use of ontologies in real-world, large-scale collaborative applications. Recently the National Science Foundation funded a large collaborative ontology...

In this article, an ontology describing archaeological finds (DhiQar) is converted into the RelOntoUML model, which combines relational database modelling, ontology, and UML modelling. The can be found in OWL on github, it open source. original also presented using graphical representation system of Protége editor. And model detailed.

In order to improve the integration and share of the HLA simulation model for complex products, to achieve interoperability between heterogeneous ontologies, the design of heterogeneous models for representation, classification, retrieval, and integrated management of distributed collaborative design ontology meta model transformation and integration of hybrid algorithm is proposed, and the con...

In this paper we describe the learner model ontology and learner model agent in a multi-agent architecture of learning support systems. The learner model ontology facilitates 1) sharable specification of the functionalities of learner model agent; 2) fluent communication between the learner model agent and other agents. The example of a learner model ontology and learner model agent shows that ...

Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
