Popis: | Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) uses models as its main assets in the software development process. The structure of a model is described through a metamodel. Even though modelling and meta-modelling are recurrent activities in MDE and a vast amount of MDE tools exist nowadays, they are tasks typically performed in an unassisted way. Usually, these tools cannot extract useful knowledge available in heterogeneous information sources like XML, RDF, CSV or other models and meta-models. We propose an approach to provide modelling and meta-modelling assistance. The approach gathers heterogeneous information sources in various technological spaces, and represents them uniformly in a common data model. This enables their uniform querying, by means of an extensible mechanism, which can make use of services, e.g., for synonym search and word sense analysis. The query results can then be easily incorporated into the (meta-)model being built. The approach has been realized in the Extremo tool, developed as an Eclipse plugin. Extremo has been validated in the context of two domains { production systems and process modelling { taking into account a large and complex industrial standard for classi cation and product description. Further validation results indicate that the integration of Extremo in various modelling environments can be achieved with low e ort, and that the tool is able to handle information from most existing technological spaces This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of 1256 Spain (FPU grant FPU13/02698); the Spanish MINECO (TIN2014-52129-R);1257 the R&D programme of the Madrid Region (S2013/ICE-3006); the Austrian 1258 agency for international mobility and cooperation in education, science and re1259 search (OeAD) by funds from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science, Research 1260 and Economy - BMWFW (ICM-2016-04969) |
