Extending Aggregation Constructs in UML
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we provide a characterization of aggregation as used in static conceptual modeling of applications. Based on this characterization we suggest changes to UML notation that allow for more precise characterization of aggregate structures.

Towards Ontological Foundations for UML Conceptual Models
UML class diagrams can be used as a language for expressing a conceptual model of a domain. We use the General Ontological Language (GOL) and its underlying upper level ontology, proposed in [1], to evaluate the ontological correctness of a conceptual UML class model and to develop guidelines for how the constructs of the UML should be used in conceptual modeling. In particular, we discuss the ...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Stereotype Deduction in UML-Based Formalism and its Application in Geographic Information Systems
Stereotypes provide a mechanism for extending the vocabulary of the UML. Present UML-based formalisms for Geographic Information System use the concept of visual stereotypes in order to represent geographic types. This paper extends the expressiveness of stereotypes currently defined for geographic types and describes an algorithm for the computation of visual stereotypes resulting from aggrega...
متن کاملExtending the UML Concepts to Transform Natural Language Queries with Fuzzy Semantics into SQL
Database applications tend toward getting more versatile and broader to comply with the expansion of various organizations. However, naïve users usually suffer from accessing data arbitrarily by using formal query languages. Therefore, we believe that accessing databases using natural language constructs will become a popular interface in the future. The concept of Object-Oriented modeling make...
متن کاملOO-H Method: Extending UML to Model Web Interfaces
The mostly " creative " authoring process used to develop many Web applications during the last years has already proven unsuccessful to tackle, with its increasing complexity, both in terms of user and technical requirements. This fact has nurtured a mushrooming of proposals, most based on conceptual models, that aim at facilitating the development, maintenance and assessment of Web applicatio...
متن کاملExtended UML Class Diagram Constructs for Visual SPARQL Queries in ViziQuer/web
Visual notations based on customized entity relationship and basic UML class diagram paradigm of classes, associations and attributes are successfully used in data modeling and data querying alike, both in relational database and in semantic/conceptual model setting. We propose a number of constructs for extending the basic diagrammatic framework in the setting of visual specification of SPARQL...
