Representing XML Schema in UML - An UML Profile for XML Schema
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a need to integrate XML schemas, i.e., schemas written in XML Schema, into UML-based software development processes. Not only the production of XML schemas out of UML models is required, but even more the integration of given XML schemas as input into the development process. In the model driven architecture, a two step integration is assumed, comprising a platform specific model and a platform independent model. This paper addresses the problem of automatically creating a platform specific model for XML schemas. A UML profile and transformation rules from XML Schema to the UML profile are defined, supporting creation of a platform specific UML model that is as concise and semantically expressive as possible without loosing XML Schema information.

XML Views, Part III: An UML Based Design Methodology for XML Views
Object-Oriented (OO) conceptual models have the power in describing and modelling real-world data semantics and their inter-relationships in a form that is precise and comprehensible to users. Today UML has established itself as the language of choice for modelling complex enterprises information systems (EIS) using OO techniques. Conversely, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is fast emergin...

Underlying these diagrams and modeling concepts is the UML metamodel which is built on top of MOF as given in Figure 2a: M3 is a meta-meta library for defining new metamodels; M2 is at the metamodel layer where models such as UML, ODM, and NeOn (Haase, Rudolph, Wang, & Brockmans, 2005) can be defined; ...
متن کاملDesigning XML Pivot Models for Master Data Integration via UML Profile
The majority of Information Systems is concerned by heterogeneity in both data and solutions. The use of this data thus becomes complex, inefficient and expensive in business applications. The issues of data integration, data storage, design and exchange of models are strongly linked. The need to federate data sources and to use standard modelling formalism is apparent. In this paper, we propos...
متن کاملGeneration of Web Applications from Uml Models Using an Xml Publishing Framework
In this paper we present a method for the semiautomatic transition from the design models of a Web application to a running implementation. The design phase consists of constructing a set of UML models such as the conceptual model, the navigation model and the presentation model. We use the UML extension mechanisms, i.e. stereotypes, tagged values and OCL constraints, thereby defining a UML Pro...
متن کاملUML and the Semantic Web
This paper discusses technology to support the use of UML for representing ontologies and domain knowledge in the Semantic Web. Two mappings have been defined and implemented using XSLT to produce Java classes and an RDF schema from an ontology represented as a UML class diagram and encoded using XMI. A Java application can encode domain knowledge as an object diagram realised as a network of i...
