In this paper we propose a new methodology for construction of
ontology, which is based on a set of mapping rules from a conceptual schema
(Entity-Relationship) and its logical model (relational model) to a conceptual
ontology. The proposed methodology consists of three big steps, which are, the
Transformation (mapping), the Formalization and the Codification. The crucial
step in the process of
... [Show full abstract] this methodology, is the transformation, this last is based on
an automatic extraction of information (such as entities, the relationship between
them, their properties, the cardinalities,..) from a conceptual model ER , its
corresponding relational schema, and the data stored in the database (the
extensional schema) to create a conceptual ontology.
