Abstract

The fast changing requirements are the main problem of creating and/or modifying conceptual data models. Most conceptual data models of information systems are created from scratch, wasting time and resources. Ontology represents the real-world domain knowledge. So ontology can be reused in conceptual model building. However ontology engineering is not mature enough. In this paper we propose the new approach to develop ontologies from relational databases using reverse engineering. The ontology can be evaluated, extended and reused as domain knowledge for other conceptual data models.
