本体是语义网的基础部分。W3C的目标是通过重用以前的系统和工件，将web带入一个语义web（充分发挥其潜力）。大多数遗留系统都在结构分析和结构化设计（ssd）中进行了记录，特别是在简单或扩展ER图（ERD）中。这样的系统需要升级才能成为语义网的一部分。本文在具体层面上给出了OWL-DL本体转换规则的ERD。这些规则促进了从ERD到OWL的简单易懂的转换。在一个结构化分析和设计实例上对转换规则集进行了测试。该框架为语义web提供了OWL本体基础。该框架帮助软件工程师将结构化分析和设计工件ERD升级为语义web的组件。此外，我们的转换工具ER2OWL通过重用现有实体关系模型，减少了构建OWL本体的成本和时间。
Ontology is the fundamental part of Semantic Web. The goal of W3C is to bring the web into (its full potential) a semantic web with reusing previous systems and artifacts. Most legacy systems have been documented in structural analysis and structured design (SASD), especially in simple or Extended ER Diagram (ERD). Such systems need up-gradation to become the part of semantic web. In this paper, we present ERD to OWL-DL ontology transformation rules at concrete level. These rules facilitate an easy and understandable transformation from ERD to OWL. The set of rules for transformation is tested on a structured analysis and design example. The framework provides OWL ontology for semantic web fundamental. This framework helps software engineers in upgrading the structured analysis and design artifact ERD, to components of semantic web. Moreover our transformation tool, ER2OWL, reduces the cost and time for building OWL ontologies with the reuse of existing entity relationship models.
