Unifying Industry-grade Class-based Conceptual Data Modeling Languages with CMcom
نویسنده
چکیده
From the side of modelers and early-adopter industry, interest in reasoning over conceptual models and other online usage of conceptual models is growing. To obtain a more precise insight in the characteristics of the main conceptual modeling languages, we define the (semi-)standardized ORM, ORM2, UML, ER, and EER diagram languages in terms of the new generic conceptual data modeling language CMcom that is based on the DL language DLRifd . CMcom has the most expressive common denominator with these languages. CMcom advances prospects for automated, online, interoperability among diverse conceptual data models and ensures compatibility with and between industrygrade conceptual data modeling languages.

A formal comparison of conceptual data modeling languages
An essential aspect of conceptual data modeling methodologies is the language’s expressiveness so as to represent the subject domain as precise as possible to obtain good quality models and, consequently, software. To gain better insight in the characteristics of the main conceptual modeling languages, we conducted a comparison between ORM, ORM2, UML, ER, and EER with the aid of Description Log...
متن کاملUnifying and Generalizing Relations in Role-Based Data Modeling and Navigation
Object-oriented programming languages support concise navigation of relations represented by references. However, relations are not first-class citizens and bidirectional navigation is not supported. The relational paradigm provides first-class relations, but with bidirectional navigation through verbose queries. We present a systematic analysis of approaches to modeling and navigating relation...

متن کاملKF metamodel formalization
The KF metamodel [Keet and Fillottrani, 2013, Keet and Fillottrani, 2014] is a comprehensive unifying metamodel covering the static structural entities and constraints of UML Class Diagrams (v2.4.1), ER, EER, ORM, and ORM2, and intended to boost interoperability of common conceptual data modelling languages. It was originally designed in UML with textual constraints, and in this report we prese...
متن کاملStructural Entities of an Ontology-Driven Unifying Metamodel for UML, EER, and ORM2
Software interoperability may be achieved by using their respective conceptual data models. However, each model may be represented in a different conceptual data modelling language for the tool’s purpose or due to legacy issues. Several translations between small subsets of language features are known, but no unified model exists that includes all their language features. Aiming toward filling ...
