UN/CEFACT's Modeling Methodology (UMM): A UML Profile for B2B e-Commerce
Birgit HofreiterPhilipp LieglRainer SchusterMarco ZapletalKeywords:
Astract: The United Nation´s Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic
Business (UN/CEFACT) is an e-business standardization body.
It is known from its work on UN/EDIFACT and ebXML. One of its ongoing
work items is the UN/CEFACT modeling methodology (UMM) for
modeling global choreographies of B2B scenarios. The goal of UMM is
defining a shared business logic between business partners and fostering
reuse of standardized process building blocks. The latest UMM version
is defined as a UML 1.4 profile. In this paper we introduce the main
concepts of UMM to realize its vision. Furthermore, the paper elaborates
on the necessary UML meta model work-arounds we - as part of
the specification´s editing team - took in order to accomplish the B2B
requirements. Then we propose a move towards UML 2 that eliminates
some of those workarounds. The paper is concluded with the introduction
of a UMM modeling tool that we implemented on top of a commercial
UML tool.

From Models to Ontologies and Back Again: The ModelCVS Approach for Integrating Modeling Tools

Astract: With the rise of model-driven software development, more and more tasks are being per-formed on models, to exploit the higher level of abstraction, the richness of visualization, and their expressiveness. A variety of tools is available supporting different tasks, such as model creation, simulation, checking, and code generation. The exchange of models among different modeling tools and so the integration of their modeling languages becomes an important prerequisite for effective software development processes. Such an integration, however, poses, among others, three major problems: First, there is heterogeneity in textual representation, syntax, semantics, and scope of modeling languages and exchange formats. Second, developing integration solutions is a cumbersome, error-prone and highly repeti-tive task when, e.g., new versions of modeling tools are emerging. Third, inconsistencies are likely when concurrent development of models on basis of different tools take place.
