On translation-based design of uml profiles
pp. 144-149
Abstract
The modeling constructs that are provided by the standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) do not allow us to design databases precisely enough. The profile mechanism allows us to extend UML in a lightweight manner. Traditionally, the development of a UML profile starts with the study of methods, platforms or domains for which this profile will be created. In this paper, we propose an additional creation method of candidate UML profiles. This method uses metamodel-based translation and allows us to reuse existing profiles. We use this method in order to create the first version of a database design profile based on existing database design profiles. The new profile allows us to use UML in order to design databases that conform to the rules of The Third Manifesto.
