Layered ontological modelling for web service-oriented model-driven architecture.
In: European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture ECMDA’2005.
Modelling is recognised as an essential activity in the
architectural design of software systems. Model-driven architecture
(MDA) is a framework implementing this idea. Ontologies are knowledge
representation frameworks that are ideally suited to support modelling
in this endeavour. We propose here a layered ontological framework
that addresses domain modelling, architectural modelling, and interoperability
aspects in the development of service-based software systems.
We illustrate the benefits of ontological modelling and reasoning for
service-oriented software architectures within the context of the Web
Services.
