How viewpoints relate to model transformations, configurations and conformance
Peter F. Linington
In Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops - WODPEC 2008, January 2008 [doi].Abstract
The ODP Reference Model defines the way a system specification is structured into a number of inter-related viewpoints, but it does not constrain the specification process. However, applying ODP in a model-driven context requires some commitment to a series of transformation activities, and, in these, the viewpoints are used with different roles. In particular, the technology viewpoint can enter into transformations in a number of different ways, depending on the style and target of the system specification. This paper considers a number of ODP viewpoint scenarios, comparing the transformations needed and the resulting assertions about conformance; as a result, it identifies various design choices that determine the way specifications relate to the real world, supporting different fields of application, and shows that these choices can usefully be made explicit in describing the available system design options and deciding what kinds of transformation best support the design process.Bibtex Record
