摘要: Concept diagrams were introduced for precisely specifying ontologies in a manner more readily accessible to developers and other stakeholders than symbolic notations. In this paper, we present case study on the use of concept visually Semantic Sensor Networks (SSN) ontology. The SSN ontology was originally developed by an Incubator Group W3C. ontology, sensor is physical object that implements sensing observation observed single sensor. These, other, roles concepts are captured visually, but precisely, diagrams. We consider lessons learnt from developing visual model show how convert description logic axioms into also demonstrate merge simple diagram complex axioms, whilst ensuring remain relatively uncluttered.
