“…Dependencies could also be used but are not intuitive. [12,10] propose to use stereotyped UML associations to state class axioms, which does not translate well to the UML object level. For this reason, Class disjointness is depicted as a bi-directional, stereotyped dependency.…”

Abstract. This paper introduces a visual, UML-based notation for OWL ontologies. We provide a standard MOF2 compliant metamodel which captures the language primitives offered by OWL DL. Similarly, we invent a UML profile, which allows to visually model OWL ontologies in a notation that is close to the UML notation. This allows to develop ontologies using UML tools. Throughout the paper, the significant differences to some earlier proposals for a visual, UML-based notation for ontologies are discussed.

Use Cases for Ontologies in Information Fusion

-Ontologies are becoming increasingly popular due to recent efforts to extend the capabilities of the World Wide Web through the addition of formal semantics. While ontologies have traditionally been used as precise languages to facilitate efficient exchange of information among people, the "Semantic Web" is extending this role to software agents. For this to be possible, ontologies must be formalized in languages processable by computers, such as OWL, the W3C's Web Ontology Language. The purpose of OWL ontologies is to permit software agents to understand web content and to interact intelligently with Web services (which may themselves be software agents). The use of such ontologies, however, need not be constrained to the Web. Recently, ontologies have found their way into higher-level information fusion where they are providing a means for describing and reasoning about sensor data, objects, relations and general domain theories. To the best of our knowledge, there is as of yet no documented effort to capture the main uses of ontologies in information fusion. In this paper we start filling this void by presenting a number of "use cases," i.e., scenarios of the use of ontologies in the context of higher-level information fusion. In this paper we develop use cases in which ontologies are used both for the fusion process itself and for the development of fusion systems. The use cases cover scenarios in which the agent roles are played by people, software or both.

Abstract. This paper is an overview of the Object Management Group effort to develop a standard Ontology Development Metamodel using the OMG's MetaObject Facility. The ODM includes metamodels for the W3C RDF/OWL representation language, the ISO Topic Maps system, and the ISO Common Logic, together with UML Profiles for RDF/OWL and Topic Maps, and mappings between each of the systems and OWL Full. The ODM is developed in a way that makes it easy to develop and publish third-party extensions for particular kinds of applications.
