Abstract

Knowledge modelling techniques are widely adopted for designing knowledge-based systems (KBS) and these systems are important for knowledge management. This paper argues the need and importance of adopting Unified Modeling Language (UML) for knowledge modelling through the profile extension mechanism. KBS are developed using knowledge engineering (KE) techniques that are often similar to software engineering (SE), and both domains emphasise the use of conceptual models in designing software systems. Most of these knowledge models heavily rely on modelling notations used in software engineering; here the UML is widely adopted. UML can be formally tailored for knowledge modelling by creating a UML profile for knowledge modelling.

1. Computing methodologies
  1. Modeling and simulation
    1. Model development and analysis
2. Software and its engineering
  1. Software notations and tools
    1. General programming languages

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) represents a significant milestone in the evolution of software methods, since it provides the first industry standard object oriented modeling notation, supported by a fairly comprehensive meta-model. It has enjoyed ...
A semiotic analysis of unified modeling language graphical notations

Unified modeling language (UML) is the standard modeling language for object-oriented system development. Despite its status as a standard, UML has a fuzzy formal specification and a weak theoretical foundation. Semiotics, the study of signs, provides a ...
