Suporte automatizado para construção de modelos conceituais bem fundamentados

Abstract

The adoption of ontologically well founded languages for building ontologies has acquiring more adopters, however its widespread use stumble on using difficulties by inexperienced modelers. This dissertation proposes a methodological guide to support the building of domain ontologies using the ontologically well founded language OntoUML. This guide through the analysis of language structure, restrictions and design patterns helps the designer on the modeling process. Beyond, the building support interactions are used to generate a design rationale. At last, it is presented a Web application implementing the ideas proposed in this work.
