XCase - A Tool for Conceptual XML Data Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conceptual modeling of XML data was made easier with the introduction of the XSEM model, which utilizes the MDA (Modeldriven architecture) ideas of multi-level modeling. XCase is an implementation of this model, enabling users to model their problem domain as a Platform-independent model (PIM), from which Platform-specific models (PSM), XML schemas in our case, can be derived. The main advantage of this approach is maintainability of multiple XML schemas describing the same data from different views as XCase maintains connections between PIM and PSM levels, so that in case of a change to some element, this change can be propagated to all the places where this element is used.

Using XSEM for Modeling XML Interfaces of Services in SOA
In this paper we briefly describe a new conceptual model for XML data called XSEM and how to use it for modeling XML interfaces of services in service oriented architecture (SOA). The model is a combination of several approaches in the area of conceptual modeling of XML data. It divides the process of conceptual modeling of XML data to two levels. The first level consists of designing an overal...
متن کاملXSEM - A Conceptual Model for XML
We propose a new conceptual model for XML data called XSEM as a combination of several approaches in the area of the conceptual modeling for XML. The model divides the conceptual modeling process of XML data to two levels. On the first level, a designer designs an overall non-hierarchical conceptual schema of a domain. On the second level, he or she derives different hierarchical representation...

The manual adaptation of conceptual models in general and reference models in particular is a time consuming and error prone task, which has to be carefully conducted. The configurative reference modeling approach promises support for the model developer as well as for the model user, as certain parts of a model can be automatically removed with respect to the requirements of a certain perspect...
متن کاملConceptual Modeling of IS-A Hierarchies for XML
In this paper we briefly describe a new conceptual model for XML called XSEM. It is a combination of several approaches in the area. It divides the conceptual modeling process to conceptual and structural level. At the conceptual level, we design an overall conceptual schema of a domain independently on the required hierarchical representations of the data in XML documents. At the structural le...
متن کاملA Conceptual Modeling Approach to XML Schema Evolution
Conceptual design methods are used in many elds of computer science. Most methods support the design of new applications. The evolution of existing applications is similar to the design task. A unique model, method and tool that support both tasks is desirable. In this article, such a method is suggested for the design and the evolution of XML schemas. The article focusses on the evolution and ...
