OWL export [message #154969] Fri, 12 October 2007 06:21 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a gmf-generated editor, and I would like to export the .model files
users create, and export them to OWL. I tried to use the EODM Ecore2OWL
but that of course works on ecore files. Is there a quick way to convert
the .model files into ecore format?

Thanks very much!
Tom

Tom,

I'm not sure this even makes sense. Ecore will be the meta model for
your instance file and it just doesn't seem to make sense to want to
convert an instance to a meta instance...

OK, I *thought* ecore format allowed meta-statements and instance

guess, have to be converted to OWL. Alternatively, my
ModelDocumentProvider could additionally walk the model and emit OWL?

Thanks again,
Tom

Tom,

I really don't know enough about OWL to say anything intelligent about
what you are trying to do.

I am building several gmf editors to work with an enormous OWL file.
Maybe I can help with any questions?

Regards,

Tom,

Is there any chance that the following use case may be of some help
here:

Jean: Thanks very much for the link. That use case seems relevant, since
it includes the instance "Pablo Picasso" in the OWL export (is that M0
level?)

Tomas: Thanks for the offer of help! How do you "bridge" back to the
triple store? Could you point me to the parts of gmf that you customized?

Cheers,
Tom

Well, my case may be different than yours.

In my model elements, I wrap OntologyClasses relating to the triple
store (I produce these classes with predefined methods). Then I do a lot
of handling to make sure that relations and properties are set correctly.
