Model bundling: Towards a value-based componential approach for language engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper takes stock of an ongoing language merging experiment on value-based componential language engineering. In line with earlier work, we discuss that conceptual modelling languages can be perceived from a value perspective, and that doing so opens up the possibility of “model bundling”. This means that we unbundle languages into valuable constituent parts, and subsequently mix-and-match these parts to fit with situation-specific modelling purposes. The contribution of this particular paper is to discuss an ongoing language engineering experiment on the merge of evalue and ArchiMate. Particularly, we show how different modelling purposes lead to different configurations (or bundles) of evalue and ArchiMate, and how economic language design necessitates the removal of obsolete concepts. Finally, we discuss directions for further work.
