Research on Service Oriented Ontology&Meta Modeling Theory and Methodology

The meta computing problem in semantic service is investigated and the ontology meta modeling theory and methodology are proposed in this paper for the purpose of ordering organization, interoperability service and sharing of heterogeneous complex information in internet. The UML commitment for ontology is defined and UML expression for ontology and ontology meta mechanism is proposed at first. The “meta” concept in meta modeling,the meta level termination criteria and model transformation mechanism are discussed secondly. At last the architecture combining ontology modeling and MOF is proposed, and the user centric complex information resource service application pattern——SCDI is presented. These form the fundamental systematic theory for the ontology meta modeling. The application of ISO SC32 standard MMFI for Ontology Registry is also introduced, and the application of HL7 domain ontology and metamodel design is presented. The authors argue that ontology meta modeling provides a feasible solution for the implementation of semantic service computing.
