Abstract

Acquisition of domain ontology from database has been of catholic concern. This paper, taking relational schemes as example, analyzes how to identify the information about the structure of relational schemes in legacy systems. Then, it presents twelve extraction rules, which facilitate the obtaining of terms and relations from the relational schemes. Finally, it uses the EER diagram to further obtain semantic information from relational schemes for refining ontology model. The development method of domain ontology based on reverse engineering is a supplement to forward engineering. The union of the two development methods is certainly beneficial for the designers of domain ontology.
