Abstract
This paper presents an extension for the Ontology Modeling Profile (OUP). The extended profile together with Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM), enables the usage of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) standards in ontological engineering. Our profile is based on the recent W3C effort – The Web Ontology Language (OWL). We have shown the role of individuals and slots in building OWL statements. This utilization improves the practical implementation of Ontology models using UML profiles.
