Enrich Exiting UML Class Model Using Ontology

Abstract

Ontologies are becoming more and more important in our software development cycle as it provides critical semantic foundation and we know class modeling is widely adopted all over the world and it help in coding phase to the developers. We use both of these techniques to make or create ease in software development cycle. We use class models for our initiative after that we extract the data from that class models by using metadata and then match that extracted data with the original one or basic data. After complete and comprehensive comparison between data we identify the difference between user requirements and system model which is developed by our software and then validate either the system required some changes or not. This technique has significant advantages over the software life cycle as most importantly it’s a time and money saving technique you don’t need to make all new class models if any changes required either by user or system up gradation you can modify, update and enrich already existing classes by using this technique.
