Graphol: A Graphical Language for Ontology Modeling Equivalent to OWL 2

Abstract: In this paper we study Graphol, a fully graphical language inspired by standard formalisms for conceptual modeling, similar to the UML class diagram and the ER model, but equipped with formal semantics. We formally prove that Graphol is equivalent to OWL 2, i.e., it can capture every OWL 2 ontology and vice versa. We also present some usability studies indicating that Graphol is suitable for quick adoption by conceptual modelers that are familiar with UML and ER. This is further testified by the adoption of Gr… Show more

“…The ontology for fault diagnosis is defined to enable fault diagnosis based on knowledge. The main environmental data for the smart farm are collected by the sensor network; thus, the ontology is defined based on the semantic sensor network ontology [25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…5. The OWL-2 DL ontology defines temporal concepts and is used to describe the temporal characteristics of resources [34]. It also provides the lexicon for describing information related to duration, the relationships between the temporal locationsincluding date and time-of each moment, the intervals between moments, and their temporal order.…”
