Ontologies, JavaBeans and Relational Databases for enabling semantic programming

Knowledge-based software engineering enables a programmer to integrate rich semantics in the software development process. In this work, we show how an OWL/RDF knowledge base can be integrated with conventional domain-centric data models (Enterprise Java Beans) and object-relational mapping toolkits (Hibernate). We present a pathway for the software developer to generate enterprise Java beans source code and hibernate objectrelational mappings starting from a domain ontology. This way, a semantic-rich enterprise development environment is specified that combines the benefits of using ontologies with software development standards.
