“…Comparing to our previous work Haav et al, 2015), this paper combines the main results of the both works into one framework that extends previous results with providing precise implementations for execution of mapping rules from OWL to the CoCoViLa modelling language and for semi-automated generation of a DSL meta-model. In addition, this paper presents a new methodology for building DSL meta-models within the implemented framework.…”

This paper investigates the use of ontologies for the development of Domain-Specific Languages (DSL). In Model-based Software Development (MBSD), ontologies as formal models are mostly used in the phase of domain analysis as formal representations of domain models and requirements of a system. In this paper, we extend this view by introducing a concept of a DSL meta-model ontology that is defined as consisting of system ontology of a MSDB tool linked to one or more domain ontologies and external software artefacts. According to the solution presented in this paper, the given domain ontologies are semi-automatically integrated into a DSL meta-model using a set of transformations between constructs of ontology modelling language OWL and a modelling language used for representing DSL meta-models. This approach enables a dynamic semantic composition of a DSL meta-model and is prototypically implemented in Java as an extension to the DSL development tool CoCoViLa.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Haav, H-M. and Ojamaa, A. (2017) 'Semi-automated integration of domain ontologies to DSL meta-models', Int. . His current research interests are in model-based software development and cyber security. This paper is a revised and expanded version of a paper entitled 'Semi-automated generation of DSL meta models from formal domain ontologies' presented at 5th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering (MEDI), Rhodes Island, Greece, 26-28 September 2015.

“…The generated code can be later (re)used. Figure 6 depicts the architecture of the CoCoViLa extension (see also Haav et al, 2015) that is mainly related to the improvement of a DSL development while components of the previous system are used for a DSL application.…”

“…The DSL meta-model ontology based approach (Haav et al, 2015;Haav and Ojamaa, 2017) uses a concept of a DSL meta-model ontology that links ontologies of different kinds for ODSD. This approach is an extension to the existing MBSD method (Kotkas et al, 2011), where DSL meta-models are originally described in the CoCoViLa modelling language.…”

“…The DSL meta-model ontology based approach uses standard DL reasoning services in order to ensure the consistency of a DSL meta-model ontology (Haav et al, 2015;Haav and Ojamaa, 2017). The consistency of the DSL meta-model ontology is checked by using ontology inference provided by Apache Jena.…”

Ontology Driven Software Development (ODSD) combines traditional Model Based Software Development (MBSD) techniques with ontology technology in order to provide extensions to and advantages over MBSD. The goal of the paper is to identify current ODSD approaches and to provide qualitative and comparative analysis of the collection of identified approaches. Main research questions of the paper concern the ways of how ontologies are integrated to MBSD process and how their usage advances MBSD. Benefits and challenges of each of the discussed approaches are presented. The analysis is based on literature and projects reviews in the fields of ontology engineering, MBSD and ODSD. The result of the analysis provides understanding of what is the role of ontologies in ODSD and shows whether application of ontology technologies to the MBSD process gives rise to a new paradigm called consistency preserving software development or not.
