摘要
作为语义Web的基础,提供共享概念模型的本体扮演了重要的角色。然而目前的本体开发工具和技术是建立在AI领域KIF和KL-ONE的基础上,难以理解和掌握。通过介绍UML和OWL的基本概念和建模原语,结合建模实例分析它们在本体建模中的开发原理,并对两者在本体建模过程的方法进行分析评价,可以看出将UML应用于本体的开发,能提供标准直观的统一建模过程,提供方便的沟通和理解途径,对本体开发有较高的现实意义和理论价值。
Ontologies play an important role in defining the terminology that agents use in the exchange of knowledge- level messages in the semantic Web. Current tools and techniques for ontology development are based on the traditions of AI knowledge representation research. This research has led to popular formalisms such as KIF and KL- ONE style language. However, these representations are little known outside AI research laboratories. In contrast, UML has a wide and rapid growing user community. So compare and value the features of OWI. full with the features of UML as a preliminary analysis supporting the design of an ontology development metarnodel. UML can provide standard and intuitionistic process of modeling, and convenient approach of communication and comprehension.
