Transforming an OWL ontology into a logical data model

To transform an OWL ontology into a logical data model, select an OWL ontology in the Data perspective and create and run an OWL-to-logical data model transformation configuration.

Before you begin

Procedure

To transform an OWL ontology into a logical data model:

  1. Select a data design project in the Data Project Explorer.
  2. Click Data > Transform > New Configuration from the main menu.
  3. Complete the Specify a Configuration Name and Transformation page:
    1. Select OWL Ontology to Logical Data Model from the Data Model Transformations list.
    2. Specify a name for the transformation.
  4. Complete the Source and Target page:
    1. Select an OWL source file.
    2. Select a target data design project or existing logical data model.
  5. If necessary, change the default values on the Properties page.
  6. On the Common page, specify whether to generate a log for the transformation, then click Finish to generate the transformation configuration file.

Results

The transformation configuration file is created in the Other Files folder, and the file opens in the editor view.

What to do next

You can run the transformation configuration file to generate the logical data model from the OWL ontology. You can also edit and reuse the transformation configuration at any time to generate logical data models from this or other existing OWL ontology files.
