TWOMDE

The International Workshop on Transformation and Weaving Ontologies and Model Driven Engineering (MDE/MDA), or (TWOMDE), is a novel workshop that investigates the integration between OWL/RDFS ontologies and Model Driven Engineering (MDE) or Model Driven Architecture (MDA). The first TWOMDE workshop is held at MoDELS Conference in 2008 in Toulouse, France.

Scope
The interest in integrating Ontologies and Software Engineering has gained more attention with commercial and scientific initiatives. The Semantic Web Best Practice and Deployment Working Group (SWBPD) in W3C included a Software Engineering Task Force (SETF) to explore how Semantic Web and Software Engineering can cooperate. The Object Management Group (OMG) has an Ontology Platform Special Interest Group (PSIG) aiming at formalizing semantics in software by knowledge representation and related technologies. The concrete results of such initiatives are the specification of the OMG Ontology Definition Metamodel, the OWL 1.1 Metamodel, the introduction to Ontology Driven Architectures and a Semantic Web Primer for Object-Oriented Software Developers.

The workshop aims at discussing how scientific and technical results around OWL/RDFS ontologies can be used fruitfully in Model Driven Engineering (MDE) or Model Driven Architecture (MDA).

Topics
The following topics are to be investigated in the scope of this workshop:
* RDF metamodel repository
* Metamodeling support of semantic structures
* Reasoning over MOF-based models using OWL/RDFS ontologies
* Application of OWL/RDFS ontologies in model transformation
* Reasoning and query languages for integrated models
* Integration of modeling standards and metamodeling of ontology technologies
* Ontology driven software development: ontology support to web service orchestration
* MDE tools using OWL/RDFS ontologies
* Semantic support to Domain Specific Languages
* Ontology engineering with MDA/MDE techniques
* Ontology connectors to system models
* Application of OWL/RDFS ontologies in Traceability and Provenance
