Abstract

Knowledge modeling and manipulation are great challenges in the current knowledge-based systems development scenario. Recent development in the area of SemanticWeb have arisen with solutions to build intelligent information systems. However, adapting legacy systems to Semantic Web technologies and standards is not trivial and demands too much effort from developers. This paper presents a survey to find tools to ease creation, maintenance and persistence of knowledge by means of mapping between existing application or domain models and OWL ontology concepts. Such tools are intended to be used in a context-aware Global Software Development (GSD) environment using Semantic Web standards to represent context information.
