Abstract

Ontologies are increasingly adopted to facilitate the model driven software development (MDSD). The issue of intertransformations among various ontologies is quickly growing prominent. Some explain that variation of ontology definition should be accepted as a must. We would agree with the point that the definition of ontology for the MDSD should be further standardized with tools. In this paper, the ontology definition for the MDSD is systematically analyzed from the philosophical and human cognitional views. Based on a few metaconcepts, ontology creation and evaluation modes are proposed. By providing general precise and consistent semantics for development elements, this framework will considerably improve the development of models of automation oriented development MDSD processes. Experimental applications on intertransformations and unifications of semantics of existing modeling languages are very encouraging.
