Abstract
When designing and developing ontology based applications, we semantically ground them by ontologically committing the application rules to their respective domain. These rules can be, for instance decision rules for a decision support system. For the DOGMA framework we have introduced ORM + , a novel extension of ORM for modeling, visualizing and interchanging ontological commitments. In this paper, we illustrate our ongoing research on ORM + and T-Lex as its supporting tool. We demonstrate in the field of on-line customer management.
