Abstract

The aim of this research is to formally define and practically apply transformation procedures based on model-driven engineering (MDE), enabling a gradual transition from the conceptual to the implementation level. Starting from the conceptual model of an information system (IS) based on the form type concept, the proposed approach enables the derivation of a relational database schema and its implementation description for the selected SQL (Structured Query Language) platform. A methodological framework has been defined, encompassing the extension of the domain-specific language FTDSL (Form Type Domain-Specific Language) through the development of its graphical syntax and the implementation of Model-to-Mode and Model-to-Text transformations, thereby providing an integrated and automated model-driven information system engineering process.
