5. The First Paradigm: Meta-Object Facility 6. The Second Paradigm: ODPs
- Patterns in MDD to indicate parts of required architectures, build M2M transformations
- ODP Initiative: Classification of Ontology Design Patterns [Presutti et al., 2008]
7. A Use Case
- Strategic level Functional level Operational level
- Ontology reengineering between the functional level (ontology) and the operational level (executable business processes)
8. The Business Process ODP 9. Conclusions
- Need a general model of patterns
-
- to explain their motivation
-
- programming code
-
- to show usage of the pattern
-
- diagrams to communicate their structure and behaviour
