Approach to the development of software components for generation of knowledge bases based on conceptual models
The paper addresses the problem of improving the process of the design of intelligent systems and their components. The main problem in designing intelligent systems is a creation of knowledge bases. The efficiency of this process can be improved by the transformation of conceptual (information) models into program codes of knowledge bases. In turn, the conceptual models can be created with the aid of different CASE tools or software for cognitive and ontological modelling. Therefore, the creation of the unified approach (a technology) for developing software components for intelligent systems that provide generation of knowledge bases by the transformation of conceptual models is an actual problem. In this paper, the technology for the automated development of software components providing generation of knowledge bases as a result of the transformation of conceptual models is proposed. The main elements of technology are: the template of the software component for the models’ translation; domain-specific (declarative) language for representation of translations - Transformation Model Representation Language (TMRL); method for development of software components based on emulation the template of the software component for the translation and specialization of a model; the conceptual architecture of the service-oriented software and its main elements, the software is based on the principles of the SaaS-model (Software as a Service). The proposed technology allows building of software components for knowledge extraction from various conceptual models as well as code generation for knowledge bases in the certain knowledge representation language. The conceptual models presented in XML are used as the source models (e. g., UML-models according to XMI, or concept maps according to XTM, etc.). CLIPS and OWL are selected as the target knowledge representation languages. The future work will focus on developing the autonomous software components (services) for the third-party intelligent systems.
