Keywords: UML; OWL; datatypes; conceptual modeling

Abstract:
Both OWL-2 and UML static class diagrams lend themselves very well for conceptual modeling of complex information systems. To ease the choice between either of these languages it worthwhile to clarify the differences and similarities in the representation of different kinds of datatypes (primitive types, enumerations, complex datatypes, and generalization of datatypes) in static UML data models and OWL-2 ontologies. Where similarities allow a transformation of datatypes from one language into the other, we describe a possible transformation.
