Introduction

UML models and OWL ontologies constitute modeling approaches with different strength and weaknesses that make them appropriate for use of specifying different aspects of software systems. In particular, OWL ontologies are well suited to specify classes using an expressive logical language with highly flexible, dynamic and polymorphic class membership, while UML diagrams are much more suitable for specifying not only static models including classes and associations, but also dynamic behavior. TwoUse is an integrated use of both modeling approaches in a coherent framework for developing integrated models, comprising the benefits of UML models and OWL ontologies. This wiki describes how to use our eclipse plugin. Our plugin aims at letting the user create his own TwoUse models by weaving existing UML models and Ontologies and transforming them into a TwoUse file.

Objectives

• Develop a model oriented platform for requirements prototyping, formalization and inferring
• Improve declarative domain modeling in executable systems
• Boost development effort by reusing and composing rules, ontologies and UML models
• Models validation and verification
• Model Driven Semantic Web
