The MOF-based ontology metamodels of ontology languages presented in this book, namely the ODM and the Ontology UML Profile (OUP), are defined in the context of the MDA’s metamodeling architecture. However, such a definition is not sufficient; they need to interact with real-word ontologies, for example with OWL ontologies. It is obvious that we need to develop transformations to support conversions between MDA ontology languages and OWL. The current ODM specification itself provides a solution to this problem by defining the QVT transformations among the defined metamodels in the specification. In this chapter, we analyze the problem of transformations in terms of the modeling and technical spaces that we described earlier in the book (see Chap. 5).
