System and method for constructing and editing multi-models

A computer database system for multi-model integration comprising:

• one or more remote client computers, each having remote client-side components provided therein, said remote client-side components comprising:
• a multi-model manager adapted to construct a system model from a plurality of constituent models, the plurality of constituent models created from a plurality of domain-specific modeling languages;
• one or more connectors providing an interface between the system model and each of the plurality of constituent models;
• an execution automation engine;
• a sandbox comprising a local copy of the system model on the remote client computer;
• and
• a version control system client;
• and
• a server connected to the one or more remote client computers via a communication medium, the server comprising:
• a processing unit;
• and
• a data storage for storing a multi-model database of a product system and accessible by the processing unit, said multi-model database comprising:
• a plurality of artifacts that define the multi-model database;
• and
• a multi-model repository that holds said artifacts under version control, wherein said artifacts comprise:
• a models data dataset, wherein each model represents a discrete aspect of the product system;
• a model registry dataset containing a list of the models in the multi-model database;
• a model attributes dataset corresponding to each of the models;
• a model interfaces dataset representing a tuple corresponding to each of the models, wherein said tuple contains a mapping operation and said model attributes;
• a model attribute constraints dataset associated with the input and output attributes, wherein said attribute constraints are triggers on the value of the associated attribute;
• a model data editing tools dataset;
• a notifications dataset associated with each of the models for informing the models of defined events;
• and
• a multi-model execution control dataset.
