Mapping OWL 2 Into ORM

Abstract

For 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 it easier, also for domain experts who is a non-IT specialist, to create, check and adapt the domain knowledge. Based on formal logic semantics of ORM and OWL 2, a serial of mapping rules have been presented to visualize OWL2 ontologies with ORM.
