Re: [ontolog-forum] SQL, UML, NLP, and Ontology (was A Question... )

John,

 

You write:

UML diagrams, by themselves, can capture a significant part of an ontology.  But you at least need OCL (or some other notation that has the expressive power of FOL to describe more).

 

Sjir: That depends on the precise definition of ontology. There are too many different definitions in use for this homonym. Please provide the definition you use.

 

Sjir: In my experience UML+OCL is not an option to most business persons, nor legal experts to be forced to use a OO programming based language to specify a durable model of services.

 

Regards

That depends on the kinds of applications and the background of the people who are developing them.  The website for SQLUNET was designed for people who were developing NLP technology.

 

I cited it as an example of the kinds of developments that some people have found to be useful.  But as they say, YMMV.
