| Abstract |
One of the main challenges in software integration
is to overcome interface incompatibilities. Integration specialists
are confronted with different semantic, structural, behavioral, communication
and property mismatches. We developed an MDA-based theoretical framework
to address these aspects by systematically modeling integration projects
at the CIM, PSM and PIM levels in order to achieve automatic analysis,
code generation and integration. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
frequently have problems to apply such methodology due to the high complexity
of general purpose modeling tools like UML tools, and of ontology editors
in the context of semantic enhancement of MDA-based tools. Our development
of the MBIF tool set (Model-Based Integration Framework) takes care of this
'conditio-sine-qua-non' requirement in SMEs with available staff under
daily business pressure.
In this paper we describe data- and function-oriented semantic enrichment
of integration models and the semantic conflict analysis which discovers
matchings between model elements with respect to semantic process requirements.
The solution of MBIF´s semantic annotation and integration tool set was
designed under the 'small is beautiful' philosophy. |
