ABSTRACT
The goal of this article is to map between Object Role Modeling (ORM) and Ontology Web Language 2 (OWL 2 DL). This mapping allows one to graphically develop his/her ontology using the ORM notation, while the ORM is automatically translated into OWL 2 DL. We map the most commonly used rules of ORM into OWL 2 DL which have the ability of decidability. DogmaModeler is extended to perform automatically this mapping (ORM into OWL 2 DL). Mapping technique is assessed using desirable reasoning methodology which depends on RacerPro2 reasoner.

Mapping ORM Into SWRL
ITA '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Information Technology and ApplicationsORM (Object Role Modeling) has been used to model domain ontologies. In order to be exchanged and shared by different applications, it needs to publish ORM domain ontologies on Semantic Web in OWL/SWRL. A series of rules have been proposed to map ORM ...
Mapping OWL 2 Into ORM
ITA '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Information Technology and ApplicationsFor most domain experts, it is difficult to build and verify domain ontologies expressed by OWL 2. ORM (Object Role Modeling) is a conceptual modeling language with graphical notations, its models can be translated into pseudo natural language that make ...
The Foundational Model of Anatomy in OWL 2 and its use
Objective: The objective is to represent the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) in the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language (informally OWL 2), and to use it in a European cross-lingual portal of health terminologies for indexing and searching Web resources. ...
