ONTOLOGY FRAME-BASED KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION IN THE UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE (UML)

摘要

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method and system for emulating a knowledge representation in a UML environment (Figure 7, # 765). A Meta-Object Facility and UML profile are grounded in a foundation ontology. The elements representing the knowledge representation ontology are mapped to elements of UML (Figure 7, # 710), based on the grounded Meta-Object Facility and UML profile, thereby emulating the knowledge representation in a UML environment (Figure 7, # 770).
