Abstract
A system and method for developing and enabling model-driven extensible Markup Language (XML) transformation to XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) format incorporate a strong built-in validation capability. A platform independent framework applies multiple passes of transformation, where each pass performs specific operations on internal models. Different source models are then merged into a target model.
Claims9
A system for developing and enabling model-driven markup language transformation to metadata interchange format for classifying business activities into several types of management components and govern all types of business operations comprising:
- a platform independent framework implementing a model-driven markup language transformation to a metadata interchange format which applies multiple passes of transformation, where each pass performs specific operations on internal models;
- and
- means merging different source models into a target model.
A method for developing and enabling model-driven markup language transformation to metadata interchange format for classifying business activities into several types of management components and govern all types of business operations comprising the steps of:
- applying multiple passes of transformation using a platform independent framework, where each pass performs specific operations on internal models;
- and
- merging different source models into a target model.
A computer readable media containing code for developing and enabling model-driven extensible Markup Language (XML) transformation to XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) format, the code implementing the steps of:
- generating a pre-defined observation meta-model;
- providing input from the pre-defined observation meta-model to an XML schema;
- providing input from the XML schema to an XML editor;
- generating by the XML editor an observation model in XML;
- receiving by a model transformation the observation model in XML and inputs from the XML schema and the observation meta-model, and
- generating by the model transformation the observation model in XMI.
