O3F Processing Tools

In
addition to the ontology representation model and the compact ontology
representation language, O3F is associated with some computational tools for
O3F Ontology processing. O3F Tools comprise an ontology server (O3_server), an ontology
editor (CO3L_edit), and a converter that translates UML class and
objects diagrams into O3F ontologies (UML2O3F). Soon, these tools will be reorganized and included in a single
integrated development environment called Go_o3f. Although integrated
in Go_o3f, the individual tools will continue to exist, some of them
with two versions – a stand alone version to be used by people through a
graphical user interface, and a programming version that can be used in other
programs through the definition of an API. Several other tools will be developed mostly by MSc students, namely a
converter for translating OWL ontologies into O3F ontologies, a converter for
translating O3F into OWL, a converter for translating O3F ontologies into UML
diagrams, and an ontology query system among others. Most of these will also
be integrated in Go_o3f. O3 Tools design is guided by the O3 Tools Architecture. |
