Bridging together semantic web and model-driven engineering

Abstract

Ontologies are part of Semantic Web as models are part of Model-Driven Engineering, they can be seen as abstract, simplified views of the world. The possibility of transforming ontologies into software models, and vice versa, will bring both spaces together helping to achieve knowledge reuse. Both ontologies and models can assist in the domain analysis for the development of Domain-Specific Languages, so new transformations can be built to derivate DSLs from ontologies or models. This paper shows the current work in progress to build all these transformations and the concepts involved. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
