ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method and system for emulating a knowledge representation in a Unified Modeling Language (UML) environment. A Meta-Object Facility metamodel and UML profile are grounded in a foundation ontology. The elements representing the knowledge representation ontology are mapped to elements of UML, based on the grounded Meta-Object Facility metamodel and UML profile, thereby emulating the knowledge representation in a UML environment.
