| Research Abstract |
This research aims at a domain ontology construction tool and its application to support upper stream of software development with UML diagrams.
The tool takes a machine readable dictionary (MRD) and domain-specific texts. The taxonomic relationships come from WordNet in the interaction with a domain expert, using the following two strategies : match result analysis and trimmed result analysis. The non-taxonomic relationships come from domain-specific texts with the analysis of lexical co-occurrence statistics ; based on WordSpace to rep-resent lexical items according to how semantically close they are to one another. Based on this idea, we have implemented DODDLE-OWL (a Domain Ontology rapiD DeveLopment Environment-Web Ontology Language extension) with the following five modules : Input Module, Construction Module, Refinement Module, Visualization Module, and Translation Module. DODDLE-OWL supports the construction of both taxonomic relationships and non-taxonomic relationships in ontologies. We have done case studies in the field of law. The empirical results show us that our environment can support a user in constructing domain ontologies.
On the other hand, we have designed a system that supports users in generating analysis class diagrams from user specific information, taking two kinds of ontologies : general ontologies and domain specific ontologies. By doing the match between nouns in use case descriptions and concepts from a domain ontology or super ordinate concepts from a general ontology, the system can extract necessary concepts, data properties and object properties to class.
