Components for Ontology Driven Push
UML based tools |
computationally tractable representation of DAML ontologies using UML based tools, including UML visualizations, DAML ontologies, and Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) data structure representations. A DAML-Enhanced UML Tool (DEUT) will be developed to interactively construct ontologies and investigate their articulations. | UML tools (Rational ROSE) and VBs |
Latest
Different ways to DAMLize |
| Lockheed Martin Management And Data Systems | UML-based ontology toolset | ontology definition, an ontology consistency checking tool, and UML-to-DAML compliant translation tool. | argo UML (open source) |
