  1. Issue 134Metamodel for OWL 2 Peter Haase, Elisa Kendall, Boris Motik, Evan Wallace

  2. Current Structural Specification • Comes with set of UML diagrams • Intended to be compatible with MOF

  3. MOF Metamodel for More Preciseness • Precise definition of structural specification • Example: Declaration rules • Formal definition of structural consistency possible • Lack of such a specification lead to a lot of confusion in OWL 1

  4. Advantages of a MOF Metamodel for OWL 2 • More preciseness in the structural specification (via OCL constraints) • Machine-processable serialization of the specification • Reuse of existing MOF tooling • E.g. automated generation of APIs, editors, etc. • Possibility of specifying UML Profiles (visual syntax for ontologies)

  5. UML Diagram of MOF Metamodel Integrity constraint: self.versionURI != 0 impliesself.ontologyURI != 0

  6. Metamodel Tooling

  7. Concrete Proposal • Make the use of MOF for the structural specification explicit by: • stating that the UML diagrams in the Structural Syntax document are consistent with a MOF compliant specification of the structural syntax • potentially adding a machine-readable serialization and high-level documentation of a MOF metamodel for OWL 2 as an additional document

  8. Possible Future Work within ODM WG of the OMG • Normative definition of OWL 2 metamodel, including • Extended descriptions of the metamodel • Provision of UML profiles • Alignment with other (existing) metamodels • Alignment will be easier if structural specification of OWL 2 already provided as metamodel • The OMG ODM WG therefore supports the definition of a first metamodel within the W3C OWL WG
