A Metamodeling Approach to Evolution
2001
With the increasing complexity of systems being modeled, analysis & design move towards more and more abstract methodologies. Most of them rely on metamodeling tools that employ multi-view models and the four-layer metamodeling architecture. Our idea is to use the metamodeling approach to classify and to constraint the possible evolutions of an information system with the effect to improve both detection of evolution conflicts and disciplined reuse. Within the domain of UML metamodeling, a refinement of the metamodel-level classification is proposed that includes bases for defining a metric of the evolution (in terms of distance between metamodels).
On Metadata Support for Integrating Evolving Heterogeneous Data Sources
2019
With the emergence of big data technologies, the problem of structure evolution of integrated heterogeneous data sources has become extremely topical due to dynamic and diverse nature of big data. To solve the big data evolution problem, we propose an architecture that allows to store and process structured and unstructured data at different levels of detail, analyze them using OLAP capabilities and semi-automatically manage changes in requirements and data expansion. In this paper, we concentrate on the metadata essential for the operation of the proposed architecture. We propose a metadata model to describe schemata and supplementary properties of data sets extracted from sources and tran…
