Abstract

Existing ontologies are a~valuable source of domain knowledge. That knowledge could be extracted and reused to create domain models. The extraction process can be aided by tools that enable browsing ontology, marking interesting notions and automatic conversion of selected elements to other notations. The paper presents a~tool that can be used for SUMO to UML translation. Such transformation is feasible and results in a~high-quality domain model, which is consistent, correct, and complete providing that input ontology has the same features.
