Recently, the ontological metamodel plays an increasingly important role to specify systems in two forms: ontology and metamodel. Ontology is a descriptive model representing reality by a set of concepts, their interrelations, and constraints. On the other hand, metamodel is a more classical, but more powerful model in which concepts and relationships are represented in a prescriptive way. This study firstly clarifies the difference between the two approaches, then explains their advantages and limitations, and attempts to explore a general ontological metamodeling framework by integrating each characteristic, in order to implement semantic simulation model engineering. As a proof of concept, this paper takes the combat effectiveness simulation systems as a motivating case, uses the proposed framework to define a set of ontological composable modeling frameworks, and presents an underwater targets search scenario for running simulations and analyzing results. Finally, this paper expects that this framework will be generally used in other fields.

语义仿真模型工程的本体元建模框架

最近，本体元模型在以两种形式指定系统方面发挥着越来越重要的作用：本体和元模型。本体是通过一组概念、它们的相互关系和约束来表示现实的描述性模型。另一方面，元模型是一种更经典但更强大的模型，其中概念和关系以规定的方式表示。本研究首先阐明了两种方法的区别，然后解释了它们的优点和局限性，并试图通过整合每个特征来探索通用的本体元建模框架，以实现语义模拟模型工程。作为概念证明，本文以战斗力模拟系统为激励案例，使用所提出的框架来定义一组本体可组合建模框架，并提出了一个用于运行模拟和分析结果的水下目标搜索场景。最后，本文预计该框架将普遍应用于其他领域。
