Ontology Transformation Pattern Editor
Dudáš, Marek ; Zamazal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
In lifecycle of ontologies -- during their creation, extension and various ways of their usage there may arise a need for changing the current modeling style of the ontology -- for transforming the ontology. Such transformation may be of course done manually, but in case of larger ontologies the process can be quite time consuming and even when transforming smaller ontologies there is a risk of making mistakes. In [1] a collection of software services and framework for automatic or semiautomatic ontology transformation has been introduced. The input for these services is (together with the source ontology which we want to transform) a definition of the transformation called a transformation pattern in a form of an XML (so basically a text) file. As a topic of this bachelor's work I created a Graphical editor of transformation patterns (TP Editor) -- an application that allows creation of transformation patterns in a similar way as UML modeling tools makes software design easier. The application has form of a plugin for Eclipse. This work contains a short introduction into the domain of transformation patterns, a user guide for the plugin and a programmer's guide. The programmers guide contains an introduction into used technology -- the GEF library, description of the source code and suggestions for further development of the plugin.
