Generation of OWL Ontologies from Concept Maps in Shallow Domains

A proposal is presented for integration between a graphical model, such as conceptual maps, and ontologies codified in the OWL language. Conceptual maps are a flexible form of knowledge representation, very useful in education-related collaborative environments; OWL is a language of knowledge representation oriented to semantic analysis and processing carried out by machines. Integration consists of a set of formal transformation applied to conceptual maps and the semantic analysis of the relations linking concepts. The proposed method is based on a concept sense-disambiguation procedure, also defined by the authors, and in the WordNet lexical database. It applies to conceptual maps of shallow domains with labels in the Spanish language.
