SC32 NXXX
Road Map of
WG2 New Project on
“Framework for Registering
Business Objects”
Hajime Horiuchi
Tokyo International University
Project Number
1.32.22.01.00.00
The title of the project will be changed following
a resolution of ballot comments and response to
WG1 resolution at this meeting
•Framework for the registration of metamodels for
metadata as re-useable objects
Other alternatives:
•Framework for the registration of metamodels to
share objects
•Framework of metamodel for registering
reusable objects

Problems to be Addressed(3)
No sharable components are available for business
domains at the Markets
Due to:
•Lack of Common means to share business semantics
•Being be dominated by a particular technology

A Solution to Improve the share-ability of
Business Semantics or Objects
• Establish Meta-Metamodel standards to enable ;
– Consistent developments of each domain Metamodels
• Ontology
• Modeling Constructs (i.e. Data, Codes, Object Patterns, Profiles)
– Registering each Metamodel
– Mapping between different Metamodels

Closer Look at
Metamodel Framework
• Model: A set of related objects to represent a concept
• Metamodel: Model which describes other model
• Meta-Metamodel: Model which describes Metamodels
Describe What ??
SC32 Seoul 020506
19
“Describe” in Meta Hierarchy
•
•
•
•
Type & Instance ?
Format / Templates?
Register ?
Just Information ?
We need a common view to the Meta Hierarchy !
SC32 Seoul 020506

Metamodel Framework
A minimal set of well designed Meta-Metamodels which
describes Metamodels in order to obtain the efficient and
consistent exchanging of both Metamodel and domain
specific models which were described each Metamodels.

Issues for the Project
• MOF/XMI PAS proceeding
• MOF Extensions with OMG MOF2.0 project
• Defining an overall structure of the Framework and
the core.
• Provide bases for Specifying each metamodel
• Linkage to Business Transaction Semantics
• Give incentives to other group to register their
metamodels
SC32 Seoul 020506
32
Standardization Issues for
Core Framework
• Define Meta-metamodel Extending MOF
(collaborative works with OMG MOF2.0 projects )
• Prepare Normative Ontology and Terminology to be
used in defining metamodels
• Prepare Normative Constructs to be used in
defining metamodels
• Define minimum Initial contents for each
Metamodels
• Define Registration Procedures

MOF/XMI PAS Submission
from OMG
•It was discussed at the Helsinki Meeting (Nov. 2001)
that should we invite MOF/XMI to SC32 or not.
•Due to an unexpected accident at OMG, the process
has been not active.
•However, OMG has reinitiated the task and committed
to submit PAS to JTC1 by the end of August.
