Abstract
A system and methods for comparing differences and similarities of at least two models including generating corresponding metamodel maps, visual representation of the models, and conducting a series of phases of comparison of the models using a mapping index, wherein the mapping index includes the metamodel maps and the visual representation of the models to produce a comparison output.
Claims22
A method for comparing models comprising the steps of:
- providing at least two models each having corresponding metamodel maps;
- comparing the metamodel maps;
- and
- generating a mapping index based upon the comparison step, thereby identifying differences and similarities of the models.
The method of claim 21, wherein the models include sets of entities.
A method for comparing models comprising the steps of:
- providing two models
- generating metamodel maps for each model
- comparing the models in a series of phases
- producing a mapping index for comparing the at least two metamodel maps,
- thereby identifying differences and similarities between the at least two models.
A system for comparing models comprising:
- two models each having a corresponding metamodel, wherein the metamodels are different from each other,
- a visual representation of the models,
- a series of phases of comparison of the models using the metamodel maps, wherein the metamodel differences are comparable in a mapping index, thereby providing a model comparison within the mapping index for models having different metamodels.
A system for comparing models comprising:
- at least two models, each model having a corresponding metamodel, wherein at least two of the metamodels are different;
- metamodel maps for making a first comparison of the models;
- a visual representation of the models for making a second comparison of the models, and
- a series of phases for comparison represented in a mapping index of the comparison of the metamodel maps.
