Abstract

This article presents a contribution to the work taken in the bridging software development and ontology technologies. This contribution makes it possible to generate automatically an ontology OWL (Web Ontology Language) starting from a model UML and to profit from the convergence between UML and OWL. Our approach is carried out in the Eclipse platform, we use a style sheet XSL to make the transformation of a model UML describes in Topcased in an OWL ontolgy represented in RDF/XML form. The transformation is based on transformation rules which make it possible to connect the concepts of UML and OWL.
