Abstract :
In this paper, we describe how ontology techniques can be used to define rules for model transformation. Using ontology will enable us to model not only the meta-concepts but also the semantic context which can be used in model inference, and the transformation rules between models can be described by ontology defined in both models. The example presented in this paper is a transformation from an object model, described in UML (unified modeling language), to a new one described in VPML (visual process modeling language).
