First-Class Extensibility for UML - Packaging of Profiles, Stereotypes, Patterns
Category: Software and Web Development
Overview This paper discusses a first-class extensibility mechanism for the UML based on Catalysis packages and frameworks. Packages define and structure meta-model extensions for different modeling language "Profiles". Package frameworks support lightweight extensions like stereotypes as well as heavyweight extensions. OCL can be used to define constraints and rules for profiles and frameworks. The approach rationalizes and consolidates some core concepts within the UML standard, uses a simple general mechanism for layering facilities onto that core in a precise and well-defined way, and offers a way to simplify and re-factor the UML specification.
