To transform an OWL ontology into a logical data model,
select an OWL ontology in the Data perspective and create and run
an OWL-to-logical data model transformation configuration.
Before you begin
- You must be in the Data perspective.
- If you are transforming from an OWL ontology into an existing
logical data model, you must open the logical data model file in the
editor view.
Procedure
To transform an OWL ontology into a logical data model:
- Select a data design project in the Data Project
Explorer.
- Click from the main
menu.
- Complete the Specify a Configuration Name and
Transformation page:
- Select OWL Ontology to Logical Data Model from
the Data Model Transformations list.
- Specify a name for the transformation.
- Complete the Source and Target page:
- Select an OWL source file.
- Select a target data design project or existing logical
data model.
- If necessary, change the default values on the Properties page.
- On the Common page, specify whether
to generate a log for the transformation, then click Finish to
generate the transformation configuration file.
Results
The transformation configuration file is created in the
Other
Files folder, and the file opens in the editor view.
What to do next
You can run the transformation configuration file to generate
the logical data model from the OWL ontology. You can also edit and
reuse the transformation configuration at any time to generate logical
data models from this or other existing OWL ontology files.
