Abstract

This paper proposes to join two different approaches: Software Engineering and Semantic Web. The first one cames from Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and the second one, from the Ontology Engineering area, more specifically Ontology Learning. The main idea of this work is to accelerate the initial construction of ontologies from knowledge already represented in several different models such as CASE repository or database dictionaries and text, based on standards of MDA for interoperability. In this way, a framework was developed to join these concepts, where the steps sequence to apply it were defined until an initial representations of ontology was obtained.
