Using Ontologies in Software Engineering: M2O framework

Abstract

In this report, we present the M2O (Model to Ontology) framework. We try to give the reasons that let it necessary to align ontologies and Software Engineering why, and when it is important to use it and what are the steps to follow in order to success developing semantically enhanced applications. Test are performed on the School* ontology, obtaining a code complexity reduction compared to the classical approaches using Jena or OWL API.
