To transform a logical data model into an OWL ontology,
select a logical data model in the Data perspective and run a logical
data model to OWL ontology transformation configuration.
Before you begin
You must be in the Data perspective.
Procedure
To transform a logical data model into an OWL ontology:
- Open a logical data model in the Data Project
Explorer. You can transform from any package
or diagram in the model.
- Click from the main
menu.
- On the Specify a Configuration Name and Transformation
page, specify the following information:
- Select Logical Data Model to OWL Ontology from
the Data Model Transformations list.
- Specify the name of the configuration.
- On the Source and Target page, complete the following steps:
- Select a source package or diagram from the source list.
- Select a target project from the target list.
- On the Properties page, change the default values of each
field to the values that are required for this transformation.
- On the Common page, specify whether you want to generate
a debug log for the transformation, then click Finish to
create the transformation configuration file.
Results
The transformation configuration file is created in the
Other
Files folder of your data design project, and the file
opens in the editor view.
What to do next
You can run the transformation configuration file, or edit
the file before you run the configuration. When you run the configuration,
the OWL ontology is created.
