Concepts

An MDA Architecture

• Metamodeling
  • MOF
    • EMOF
    • CMOF
    • EMF

• Modeling

  • UML Infrastructure
  • UML Superstructure
  • UML Profiles
    • Conventional UML Profile
    • SysML
    • SoaML

• Tooling

  • XMI (Diagram Interchange)
  • Model Transformation and Code Generation (Model Transformation Languages)
    • For example, Acceleo, MOF2MT
    • ATLAS Tranformation Language (ATL)
      • Developed by INRIA
      • Supported with an Eclipse project: ATL

• Architectures

  • TOGAF

Relation to OMG CORBA

Modeling Framework Tools and Toolchains

MDA-Enabled Desktop Modeling Tools - A Survey

Modelio

• [BPMN] modeling support is available natively in Modelio
  • BPMN Process Collaboration, Choreography, and Sub-Process Diagrams may be created within a Modelio project
• [BPMN] and [SOA] support in Modelio is extended with the Modelio TOGAF Architect Module
  • After the Modelio [TOGAF] module is installed within a Modelio project, a Business Layer is added to the project's model set. At that point, BPMN Process Collaboration and Sub-Process Diagrams may created in Modelio, via Modelio's diagram creation dialogues
  • [TOGAF]
    • Documentation about The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF): from the Open Group
      • Latest version of TOGAF is TOGAF 9.1
      • Previous version of TOGAF TOGAF 8.1.1
• Additional Modelio extension modules
  • XML Schema modeling is available in the Modelio UML view, via the Modelio XSD Designer Module, with documentation available via Modelio online "Help" menu - serves as a utility when developing OWL ontologies using complex XML schema datatypes
  • Modelio SoaML Designer Module
  • Modelio SysML Architect Module
  • Other Free/Open Source and "Free" extension modules for Modelio

Papyrus
