Abstract:
GeoProfile is a Unified Modeling Language (UML) profile developed for the conceptual modeling of geographical databases. It uses the entire UML infrastructure including Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools. Additionally, the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach along with constraints specified in Object Constraint Language (OCL) can be used in CASE tools to transform models until the generation of Structured Query Language (SQL) source code. This paper describes the evaluation of a set of CASE tools with UML profile support based on specific requirements for the use of the MDA approach, OCL constraints and other elements to aid the conceptual modeling of geographic databases using the UML GeoProfile. Based on the results, geographical databases designers can choose the tool that best suits your project or use the evaluation methodology used here to evaluate other CASE tools.
