Metis: The SDRule-L Modelling Tool

Yan Tang Demey and Christophe Debruyne

Abstract. Semantic Decision Rule Language (SDRule-L), which is an extension to Object-Role Modelling language (ORM), is designed for modelling semantic decision support rules. An SDRule-L model may contain static(e.g., data constraints) and dynamic rules (e.g., sequence of events). In this paper, we want to illustrate its supporting tool called Metis, with which we can graphically design SDRule-L models, verbalize and reason them. We can store and publish those models in its markup language called SDRule-ML, which can be partly mapped into OWL2. The embedded reasoning engine from Metis is used to check consistency.

Keywords: fact based modeling, object role modeling, conceptual modeling, semantic decision making, SDRule-L
