FROM ONTOLOGY CHARTS TO CLASS DIAGRAMS - semantic analysis aiding systems design

Abstract

Despite the wide adoption of the Object Oriented paradigm for software development and the usefulness of the Unified Modelling Language, there still are aspects of business modelling not well captured and represented. Previous literature in Organisational Semiotics has shown that its methods could facilitate a converging process for reaching a semantic representation, which delivers an agreed business model. In this paper we define a process for informing UML class diagrams with results of Semantic Analysis. We provide a group of heuristic rules to aid the construction of a preliminary class diagram from an ontology chart.
