User UML-profile and metamodel-driven design of database applications

摘要

Modern software are object-oriented program systems. Almost all software has a database. Some databases are object-oriented. In this case, object-oriented software and databases shall be designed in a consistent manner. In this article, we describe a UML profile for the programming environment. It is an environment for support of object-oriented databases. The UML profile allows describing an application domain in notions of a metamodel of the programming environment.
