When extracting key concepts and relations in traditionally ontology creating, it adds the cost of creating an ontology and restricts the development and population of semantic Web if specialists from several fields take part in.To solve the problem, this paper analyzes the differences between UML class diagram and OWL, proposes the method of mapping the fields knowledge extracted from UML model such as concepts, attributes, relations and restricts of the ontology to OWL ontology, and illustrates the OWL ontology mapping based on UML class diagram to realize convenience and efficiency of ontology creating.
