UML for Ontology Development

Overview Ontologies are becoming increasingly important because they provide the critical semantic foundation for many rapidly expanding technologies such as software agents, e-commerce and knowledge management (McGuinness, 2001).

This paper discusses the recent convergence of UML and ontologies and suggests some possible future directions.
