WebML+: a Web modeling language for forming a bridge between business modeling and information modeling.
Rachatrin Tongrungrojana, David B. Lowe · 2003
One aspect of the development of Web-enabled systems that has received increasing attention is information modeling, particularly with respect to aspects such as navigation and content models. These models have however typically focused on modeling at a relatively low-level and have failed to address higher-level aspects, such as architectural and business process modeling. We have proposed WebML+, a set of formal extensions to an existing modeling language (WebML), which is able to form a bridge between higher level business models and lower level detailed designs. In this paper we provide guidelines for supporting the derivation of a WebML+ model from/to these different models, thereby providing a concrete link between them. We illustrate these guidelines with a detailed example. 1
