12、 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committe
13、es established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work
14、. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Stan
15、dards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elemen

ISO/IEC 19763-3 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32, Data management and interchange. ISO/

18、London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Sun Apr 01 14:52:44 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI v Introduction Today, in E-business (EB) or E-commerce (EC) through the Internet, the effective interchange of business transactions or other related information across countrie
19、s and cultures is an important concern for people in both the IT industry and other non-IT industries. To follow the current trends of EB or EC, industrial consortia have engaged in the standardization of domain- specific business objects, including business process models and software components us
20、ing common modeling facilities and interchange facilities such as UML and XML. They are very active in standardizing domain-specific business process models and standard modeling constructs such as data elements, entity profiles and value domains. Moreover, interoperation among autonomous Web-based
21、applications, such as Web services, is becoming important. For that purpose, ontology is a key issue. Ontology is a description of a universe of discourse. A lexicon, a taxonomy, a thesaurus and a familiar conceptual model such as a business process model in UML are all examples of ontology. In addi
22、tion, ontology includes a more complex axiomatic theory. Several efforts to establish standards associated with ontology are under way. For example, OMG will publish a specification called ODM, defining the metamodels of ontologies described in several languages and the mappings among them. This par
23、t of ISO/IEC 19763 will be expanded to provide for the metadata associated with ontologies to be specified and registered with respect to this part of ISO/IEC 19763. In addition, to promote ontology-based interoperation, a generic framework for registering administrative information related to ontol
24、ogies is necessary. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 intends to provide a generic framework for registering administrative information related to ontologies, based on ISO/IEC 19763-2.

26、 interoperability (MFI) Part 3: Metamodel for ontology registration 1 Scope ISO/IEC 19763 specifies a metamodel framework for interoperability. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 specifies the metamodel that provides a facility to register administrative information related to ontologies. The metamodel spec
27、ified in this part of ISO/IEC 19763 is intended to promote interoperation among application systems. It does not specify the metamodels of ontologies described in specific languages and the mappings among them. They are specified in other specifications such as the Ontology Definition Metamodel from

34、 distinction between “strictly conforming” and “conforming” implementations is necessary to address the simultaneous needs for interoperability and extensions. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 describes specifications that promote interoperability. Extensions are motivated by needs of users, vendors, inst
35、itutions and industries, but are not specified by this part of ISO/IEC 19763. A strictly conforming implementation may be limited in usefulness but is maximally interoperable with respect to this part of ISO/IEC 19763. A conforming implementation may be more useful, but may be less interoperable wit
36、h respect to this part of ISO/IEC 19763. 2.2.2 Strictly conforming implementation A strictly conforming implementation a) shall support the metamodel specified in 5.3; b) shall not support any extensions to the metamodel specified in 5.3. 2.2.3 Conforming implementation A conforming implementation a
37、) shall support the metamodel specified in 5.3; b) may support extensions to the metamodel specified in 5.3 that are consistent with the metamodel specified in 5.3. 2.3 Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) An implementation claiming conformance with this part of ISO/IEC 19763 shall include an
38、Implementation Conformance Statement stating a) whether it is a strictly conforming implementation or a conforming implementation (2.2); b) what extensions are supported if it is a conforming implementation.

47、 registration An ontology consists of several sentences and each sentence uses several non-logical symbols. MFI Ontology registration provides a facility to register administrative information related to ontologies, their sentences and the symbols that they use. Figure 2 shows the metamodel for onto
48、logy registration. NOTE Metaclasses whose names are italicized are abstract metaclasses. Figure 2 Metamodel for ontology registration Ontology_Whole is an abstract metaclass that designates an ontology and contains the associated administrative information. Ontology_Language represents a language th
49、at describes an ontology that is designated by Ontology_Whole. Ontology_Component is an abstract metaclass that designates a sentence contained in an ontology and contains the associate administrative information. The granularity of a sentence is not specified but is a users choice. Ontology_Atomic_Construct is an abstract metaclass that designates a non-logical symbol that is used in a sentence and contains the associated administ
