A UML Profile for Knowledge Modeling

The Research

The CommonKADS methodology for Knowledge Engineering was used as the basis for this research; the research focused on the following areas:

  1. Extending the use of standardized modelling technique for knowledge modelling by proposing an extension to UML for knowledge modelling
  2. This involves the development of UML Profiles for Knowledge Modelling with notations, semantics and syntax
  3. The aim of the research is to promote the use of a common modelling language, so that the vision of integration, reusability, interoperability among different systems will be achieved.

The Findings

The work has extended UML for use in knowledge modelling through the mechanism of profile extension. The work was evaluated using the eXecutable Modelling Framework (XMF) tool developed by Xactium.

This project also involved members of the High Integrity Systems Engineering Group.
