Design of knowledge-based systems with the ontology-domain-system approach
Xin Wang, Christine W. Chan, Howard J. Hamilton · 2002
An ontology is a comprehensive knowledge model that enables a developer to practice a "higher" level of reuse, namely knowledge reuse. To achieve knowledge reuse instead of software reuse, we propose forging a closer mapping between the knowledge and software models in the development process. In this paper, we first present UML as an ontology modeling language and then describe the Ontology-Domain-System approach to deriving a system model from a UML-based ontology model.
