Conceptual Model Interoperability: A Metamodel-driven Approach
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present the main approach and some essential metamodel-driven rules for the static, structural, components of ER, EER, UML v2.4.1, ORM, and ORM2. ...
The transformations for model elements and patterns are used with the metamodel to verify correctness of inter-model assertions across models in different languages. ...

A Conceptual Markup Language That Supports Interoperability between Business Rule Modeling Systems
[chapter]
2002

Toward an Ontology-Driven Unifying Metamodel for UML Class Diagrams, EER, and ORM2
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Software compatibility and application integration can be achieved using their respective conceptual data models. However, each model may be represented in a different language. ...
Aiming toward filling this gap, we designed a common, ontology-driven, metamodel of the static, structural, components of ER, EER, UML v2.4.1, ORM, and ORM2, such that each is a fragment of the encompassing ...

From XML to Relational Models

However, without efficient schema mapping mechanisms or models that allow for the storage and management of information from several distinct systems, the goal of interoperability is impossible to attain ...
This paper reviews leading research in the fieldfocusing particularly on three novel approaches taken -and proposes an original schema mapping mechanism using a conceptual model which, due its higher level ...

Conceptual Schema Optimisation – Database Optimisation before sliding down the Waterfall
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
When optimising schemas, one would like to preserve some level of equivalence between the schemas before and after a transformation. ...
We distinguish between two classes of equivalence, one based on the mathematical semantics of the conceptual schemas, and one on conceptual preference by humans. ...

EVORM: A conceptual modelling technique for evolving application domains
1994
Data & Knowledge Engineering
EVORM is the result of applying a general theory for the evolution of application domains to the object role modelling technique PSM, a generalisation of ER, EER, FORM and NIAM. ...
In version modelling, a structural change requires the replacement of the old system by a new system, and a costly conversion of the old population into a new population conforming to the new schema. ...
PSM can be regarded as a common base for object role modelling techniques like NIAM, FORM, ER [11] , EER [27] and IFO [1] . ...

An ontology-driven unifying metamodel of UML Class Diagrams, EER, and ORM2
2015
Data & Knowledge Engineering
We describe two practical use cases of the metamodel, being a quantitative assessment of the entities of 30 models in ER/EER, UML, and ORM/ORM2, and a qualitative evaluation of inter-model assertions. ...
To this end, we designed a common and unified ontology-driven metamodel of the static, structural components and constraints in such a way that it unifies ER, EER, UML Class Diagrams v2.4.1, and ORM and ...

Advances in Data Modeling Research
2006
Communications of the Association for Information Systems
We focus on four primary areas where data modeling research offers rich opportunities: spatio-temporal semantics, genome research, ontological analysis and empirical evaluation of existing models. ...
We highlight past work in each area and also discuss open questions, with a view to promoting future research in the overall data modeling area. ...
For example, finding that the extended ERM (EER) schema is more or less readable than the object-oriented (OO) model (Booch 1994 ) schema for a case does not indicate why this was observed. ...

The model multiplicity problem: experimenting with real-time specification methods

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
AbstractÐThe Object-Process Methodology (OPM) specifies both graphically and textually the system's static-structural and behavioral-procedural aspects through a single unifying model. ...
These methods usually employ at least three distinct models for specifying various system aspectsÐmainly structure, function, and behavior. ...
The authors found that the EER model is better than the OO model in specifying unary and ternary relationships, that it takes less time to generate EER schemas, and that the EER model is preferred by the ...
