Model driven approach for specifying WSMO ontology
Djamel Amar Bensaber, Mimoun Malki · 2012
The semantic web promises to bring automation to the areas of web service discovery, composition and invocation. In order to realize these bene- fits, rich semantic descriptions of web services must be created by the software developer. A steep learning curve and lack of tool support for developing such descriptions thus far have created significant adoption barriers for semantic web service technologies. In this paper, we present a model-driven architecture ap- proach for specifying semantic web service through the use of a UML profile that extends class diagrams. In this paper we describe our efforts to develop a transformation approach based MDA to translate XMI specifications (e.g., XML encodings of UML) into equivalent WSMO specifications via the use of ATL transformations.
