Abstract

Developers of ontologies and Semantic Web applications have to decide on languages and environments for developing the ontology schema, asserting statements, specifying and executing queries, specifying rules, and inferencing. Such languages and environments are not well-integrated and lack common abstraction mechanisms. This paper presents a concept framework to alleviate those problems. This is demonstrated by a complex sample application: reasoning over business process models.

This research was funded by Zentrum für Forschung und Entwicklung (ZFE), Hochschule Darmstadt – University of Applied Sciences under grant number 419 327 01.
