Ontology-Supported Language Interoperability - The UEML Approach
Abstract: Emerging information and communication technologies are increasingly model-driven. Unfortunately, they are driven by models expressed using languages that are often not interoperable. Instead of producing more adaptable and integrated ICT solutions, model-driven technologies therefore run the risk of reinforcing existing interoperability problems as different information systems evolve driven by incommensurable models. The presentation describes the design of an intermediate language for enterprise modelling - the Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML) - a language that aims to support integrated use of enterprise and IS models expressed in different languages.
