MAPPING FROM TEMPORAL RECURSIVE RELATIONSHIPS IN THE TIME-ER MODEL TO OWL ONTOLOGY

Abstract

In order to design temporal database at the conceptual level, the TimeER model has been widely used recently. Accordingly, a method that has been explored is the creation of temporal ontologies using the TimeER model. However, the problem of converting the temporal recursive relationships of the TimeER model to the OWL ontology has not been addressed in previous studies. This paper proposes the rules for converting the temporal recursive relationship of TimeER model to the OWL ontology on the basis of inheriting techniques to convert temporal binary relationship to OWL ontology.
