Approaching the feasibility of SBVR as modeling language for ontology development: An exploratory experiment

作者：

Highlights：

• The work compares UML and SBVR as modeling languages for ontology development.

• Comparison is performed by means of an exploratory experiment.

• Feasibility of SBVR to OWL 2 mappings as ontology development technique is shown.

• Effectiveness of UML for conceptualizing lightweight ontologies is shown.

• Potential of SBVR to express complex notions of a domain of interest is shown.
