Conceptual Modeling of Multimedia Search Applications Using Rich Process Models

摘要

With the advent of the Web, search has become the prominent paradigm for information seeking, both across the online space and within enterprises. Search frameworks and components can be used to build search-based applications in the most diverse vertical fields. This paper explores Model Driven Development and model transformations as a paradigm for developing search-based applications, considered as process- and content-intensive applications. A rich process model, obtained by extending BPMN, is proposed as the starting point of development, followed by a set of semi-automatic model transformations that lead from the conceptualization of requirements to the running code.
