Getting Started

Selecting the Perspective

Enterprise Architect partitions the tool's extensive features into Perspectives, which ensures that you can focus on a specific task and work with the tools you need without the distraction of other features. To work with the Ontology Definition Metamodel features you first need to select this Perspective:

<perspective name> > Information Exchange > Ontology Definition ODM

Setting the Perspective ensures that the Ontology Definition Metamodel diagrams, their tool boxes and other features of the Perspective will be available by default.

Example Diagram

The example diagrams provide a visual introduction to the topic and allows you to see some of the important elements and connectors that are created in specifying or describing the way a class is defined including Owl Classes and Object Properties
