Detailed Description

Decode an Ontology OWL to be drawn in crowd using diagram UML/EER/ORM according to an encoding strategy.

1. Give a Strategy for specifying the algorithm for decoding the OWL 2.
2. Give a Builder for specifying the UML/EER/ORM json input format.

JSON Format

We expect the following fields:

• classes : An Array of classes information. Each class should have:
  • attrs An array of strings representing all attributes names
  • methods An array of strings representing all attributes names
  • name A string which represent the name of the class.
• links : An array of links information. Each link should have:
  • classes : An array of strings with the name of the classes involved on the relationship.
  • multiplicity : An array of strings with the multiplicity on each class side.
  • name : A string with the name of the link.
  • type : A string with the type name of the link. Could be: "association", "generalization".

Example

{"classes": [
  {"attrs":[], "methods":[], "name": "Person"},
  {"attrs":[], "methods":[], "name": "Cellphones"}],
 "links": [
  {"classes": ["Person", "Cellphones"],
   "multiplicity": ["1..1", "1..*"],
   "name": "hasCellphone",
   "type": "association"}
   ]
}
