Abstract
The amount of data available on the Internet is continuously increasing,
consequentially there is a growing need for tools that help to analyse the data.
Testing of consistency among data received from different sources is made
difficult by the number of different languages and schemas being used. In this
paper we analyze requirements for a tool that support integration of UML models
and ontologies written in languages like the W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL).
The tool can be used in the following way: after loading two legacy models into
the tool, the tool user connects them by inserting modeling constructs like
classes, associations and Object Constraint Language (OCL) statements. It is the
tool users responsibility to connected the legacy models in such a way that
consistency is beeing explicitly defined. A special modeling technique it to be
used when specifying possible consistencies violations, an important part of
this technique is attaching of OCL expressions to special boolean class
attributes that we call consistency attributes. The resulting integration model
can be used for automatic consistency testing of two instances of the legacy
models by automatically instantiate the whole integration model and then report
consistency attribute values that are false.
