| Abstract: |
There is a diversity of ontology languages in use, among
them
OWL, RDF, OBO, Common Logic, and F-logic. Related languages
such as UML class diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams and object role
modelling provide bridges from ontology modelling to applications, e.g.
in software engineering and databases.
Another diversity appears at the level of ontology modularity and relations among ontologies. There is ontology matching and alignment, module extraction, interpolation, ontologies linked by bridges, interpretation
and refinement, and combination of ontologies.
The Distributed Ontology, Modelling and Specification Language (DOL)
aims at providing a unified meta language for handling this diversity.
In particular, DOL provides constructs for (1) “as-is†use of ontologies
formulated in a specific ontology language, (2) ontologies formalised in
heterogeneous logics, (3) modular ontologies, and (4) links between on-
tologies. This paper sketches the design of the DOL language. DOL will
be submitted as a proposal within the OntoIOp (Ontology Integration
and Interoperability) standardisation activity of the Object Management
Group (OMG). |
