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
