RE: UML => OWL, SKOS => OWL?

Hi Leo,

Some years ago I did some work on UML=>OWL conversion and putting the scheme
to use. The following were published:

-          MSc thesis completed under my direction: MEHRULHASSANI, Moein,
Developing Ontology-Based Applications of Semantic Web Using UML to OWL
Conversion, Eastern Mediterranean Univ., July 2008.

 

-          Conference paper: Moein Mehrolhassani and Atilla Elçi (2008):
OLS: An Ontology Based Information System. Proceedings of International
Workshop on Ontology Alignment and Visualization (OnAV-2008), held in
conjunction with the Second International Conference on Complex, Intelligent
and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS 2008), 4-7 March, 2008, Technical
University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain. Published by IEEE CPS, 2008,
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3109-0, pp: 892-896.

Let me know should you need copies.

Subject: UML => OWL, SKOS => OWL?

 



Folks,

 

I'm looking for: 

1)       Formalizations, methods, implementations, tools that
convert/transform UML object models into OWL ontologies in a structure- and
semantics-preserving way. 

2)      Also, approaches that map SKOS vocabularies (especially codelists)
in a reasonable fashion to OWL ontologies. E.g., as value enumerations of
ranges of data or object properties. 

 

Concerning (1), I'm aware of early UML => DAML work, circa 2001-2. I am also
aware of more recent work such as:

 

Zedlitz, Jesper, and Norbert Luttenberger. 2014. Conceptual Modelling in UML
and OWL-2. International Journal on Advances in Software, vol 7 no 1 & 2,
year 2014, http://www.iariajournals.org/software/. Also:
http://www.thinkmind.org/download.php?articleid=soft_v7_n12_2014_15.

SEMAPRO 2013, The Seventh International Conference on Advances in Semantic
Processing, 2013, pp. 32-35.

Do you know of other such work?

 

Also, do you know of work addressing (2)?

 

Thanks much!

Leo
