"On Models and Ontologies - A Semantic Infrastructure Supporting Model Integration";
Vortrag: Modellierung 2006, Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria; 22.03.2006 - 24.03.2006; in: "Modellierung 2006, 22.-24. Maerz 2006, Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria", LNI, 82 (2006), ISBN: 3-88579-176-5; S. 11 - 27.

The exchange of models among different modeling tools ever more
becomes an important prerequisite for effective software development
processes. Due to a lack of interoperability, however, it is often difficult to use
tools in combination, thus the potential of model-driven software development
cannot be fully exploited. This paper proposes ModelCVS, a system which
enables tool integration through transparent transformation of models between
different tools´ modeling languages expressed as MOF-based metamodels.
ModelCVS provides versioning capabilities exploiting the rich syntax and
semantics of models. Concurrent development is enabled by storing and
versioning software artifacts that clients can access by a check-in/check-out
mechanism, similar to a traditional CVS server. Semantic technologies in terms
of ontologies are used together with a knowledge base to store machine-
readable, tool integration relevant information, thus allowing to minimize
repetitive effort and partly automate the integration process.
