Transformation between graphic enterprise model and enterprise model in knowledge form
Bingyin Ren · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2008
To support knowledge sharing among enterprises,and to realize distributed and collaborative modeling,a transformation method between enterprise model in graph form and that in OWL form is proposed.Model ontology is built up.Graphic metamodels correspond to classes and graphic model elements correspond to instances of these classes.Relations between graphic model elements correspond to object properties in OWL ontology.Used as a tool that builds model ontology instances,modeling system transforms the whole graphic model to the model described in OWL form.On the other hand,by parsing the model in OWL form,modeling system generates the graphic model.
