Abstract:
Unified Modeling Language (UML) and eXtensible Markup Language (XML) are two of the most commonly used languages in software engineering processes. One of the most critical of these processes is that of model evolution and maintenance. More specifically, when an XML schema is modified, the changes should be propagated to the corresponding XML documents, which must conform to the new, modified schema. A current trend in this context consists of propagating the changes from the conceptual level (UML in our case) to the other levels (XML Schemas and documents). This paper is devoted to the study of the feasibility of the implementation of a UML to XML evolution architecture using the Eclipse framework, by means of UML2 and XSD plug-ins. A conclusion drawn from our study is that the chosen plug-ins lack of technological capabilities to implement this architecture.
