Abstract
. This paper provides an overview of the OCML modelling language: it illustrates the underlying philosophy, describes the main modelling constructs provided, and compares it to other modelling languages. 1. INTRODUCTION OCML 1 was originally developed in the context of the VITAL project (Shadbolt et al., 1993) to provide operational modelling capabilities for the VITAL workbench (Domingue et al., 1993). Over the years the language has undergone a number of changes and improvements and in what follows we will provide an overview of the current version of the language (v5.1), illustrate its underlying philosophy and compare it to other knowledge modelling languages. 2. LANGUAGE TENETS A number of ideas/principles have shaped the development of the OCML language. These are discussed in the following sections. 2.1. Knowledge-level modelling support. The main goal of OCML is to support knowledge-level modelling (Newell, 1982; Fensel and Van Harmelen, 1994). In practice this role impl...
