Using Templates in OWL Ontologies
Fernando Silva Parreiras · 2012
Integrating model-driven development and semantic web resulted in metamodels and model-driven tools for the semantic web. This chapter presents an approach for modeling ontology templates applicable to different web ontology language (OWL) metamodels and extensible to SWRL, SPARQL- DL, and SAIQL. It then introduces graphical notations containing dedicated constructs to specify templates and to bind them with domain ontologies, enabling ontology engineers to design and test templates as first-class citizens. The chapter describes the application of TwoUse and the main constructs of the metamodel extension and the different notations.
