  • Create a concept model from scratch or by importing an OWL ontology for reuse and/or as a starting point for the creation of a concept model.
  • Graphically represent imported RDFS/OWL 2 ontologies.
  • Provide graphical concept model authoring with subject matter experts.
  • Integrate with any UML model or UML-based standard, such as the Unified Profile for MoDAF and DoDAF, and NIEM-UML.
  • Support the Open World Assumption (i.e., the absence  absence of evidence information is not evidence of absence)interpreted as unknown information, not as negative information)*.
  • Export a concept model to an OWL 2 ontology for reasoning over and adding further precision to constrain possible interpretations.
  • Support the creation of Closed World Assumption information models.
  • Automatically style classes defined in other packages and diagrams.

To see all elements that Concept Modeler can import or export, refer to Concept Modeling Semantics and UML to Equivalent OWL ( in OWL Functional Syntax).


UML model traceability

The Concept Modeler uses UML to build models. Therefore, concept models built by the Concept Modeler can be traced to any UML model, (e.g., NIEM-UML).
