“…Several other researchers [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] have proposed UML translation models into OWL automatically using the class diagram. The aim of [9] is the establishment of an appropriate conceptual correspondence between UML and OWL through the semantic-preserving scheme translation algorithm.…”

“…An eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)-based architecture for automated OWL development consisting of Metamodel Definition of Ontology that is defined using the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) has been proposed by [11]. Other research is carried out in [12][13], which has revised the transformation rules and proposed the verification rules to check the UML class diagram's suitability with the ontological domain in OWL. An automatic translation of UML into OWL is proposed in [14] through an approach that analyzes UML models' consistency and satisfaction using logical reasoning for OWL.…”

The System Modeling Language (SysML) used the Requirement Diagram to model non-functional requirements, such as response time, size, or system functionality, which cannot be accommodated in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). SysML Requirement Diagram, in its implementation, integrates with several diagrams describing the requirements, which are referred to as additional elements. The absence of transformation rules for these additional elements to become OWL ontology causes difficulties in reading, understanding, and tracking the requirements. In this research, an extended rule of the Requirement Diagram transformation is proposed to solve the problems. First, some transformation rules are defined to make requirements easier to trace and realize the ontology generation's automatic transformation. Second, the time required during transformation processing to prepare and generate the OWL file shows the proposed model's performance. The ontology components produced from this research, such as class, subclass, object property, and data property, can be viewed in Protégé.

Transformation of SysML Requirement Diagram into OWL Ontologies

The Requirement Diagrams are used by the System Modeling Language (SysML) to depict and model non-functional requirements, such as response time, size, or system functionality, which cannot be accommodated in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Nevertheless, SysML still lacks the capability to represent the semantic contexts within the design. Web Ontology Language (OWL) can be used to capture the semantic context of system design; hence, the transformation of SysML diagrams into OWL is needed. The current method of SysML Diagrams transformation into OWL is still done manually so that it is very vulnerable to errors, and the translation process requires more time and effort for system engineers. This research proposes a model that can automatically transform a SysML Requirement Diagram into an OWL file so that system designs can be easily understood by both humans and machines. It also allows users to extract knowledge contained in the previous diagrams. The transformation process makes use of a transformation rule and an algorithm that can be used to change a SysML Requirement Diagram into an OWL ontology file. XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) serialization is used as the bridge to perform the transformation. The produced ontology can be viewed in Protégé. The class and subclass hierarchy, as well as the object properties and data properties, are clearly shown. In the experiment, it is also shown that the model can conduct the transformation correctly.

“…There are algorithmic methods for semantic validation of UML (Unified Modeling Language) class diagrams using an ontology as a reference in the domain; the ontology determines if the elements and relationships into diagram are contradictory or not and if are into domain [27].…”
