Re: [epf-dev] Reusing artifacts - question
|
As I said, I would prefer this type
of discussion in the newsgroup. I am also not used to talk to people
with no name :-).
There are a lot of exiting new modeling
projects coming up in Eclipse and our intention is to reuse as much of
these as possible in the future. As these projects just get started
and we wanted to limit our scope to things that are not covered by other
related technologies, this is what we did so far. We surely want
to do more in the future. Any contributions from the community are
welcome as well.
Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.

Peter,
Don't some of these hard boundaries make it difficult
to take process support beyond just (nicely structured) documentation?
e.g. Shouldn't templates be generated (or at least be generatable) from
from artifact structure?
Also, which newsgroup should I use?
Thanks & regards.

It was not our goal to provide tools for creating formal artifact models
in this release. UML tools such as Rational Software Modeler do so
a much better job at modeling. EPFC is more about documenting such
models. You could create the model there and then document these
in the Artifact's Main Description field or a separate Concept element.
You can model some form of containment in EPF, but is not what you are
asking for. You can right-clicking on an artifact and create a new
sub artifact. However, what you describe in your example would be
containment on the M0 level. We model containment on the M1 level
only. In other words, you want to model that instances of Classes
can be a part of instances of Business Models. However, instances
of Analysis and Design Models also contain Classes. We model composition
one meta-model level higher: We say that the Use Case Model model concept
comprises of Actor and Use Cases or the Business Model comprises of Business
Entities and Business Workers, i.e. the model definition is decomposed
into sub-model definitions. Hence, you only model composition here
if the children are part of the definition of the parent. Classes
are not part of the Business Model definition. They are reused and
tailored for Business Models. Hence, they are not a part. However,
the instances of these Classes can be a part of an instance of a Business
Model.
As it is often the case that you find decomposition on M1 and well as M0
it is a bit confusing. I get confused myself a lot, I have to admit
:-)
P.S.: I think question like these are better discussed in the newsgroup
to reach a broader audience. This email list is for EPF developers.
Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.

| [epf-dev] Reusing artifacts - question |

I have an Artifact in Method Content (say, "class").
I have two other artifacts in Method Content, say "Business Model"
and
"Subsystem".
How do I say that Business Model and Subsystem both contain (many) classses?
Thanks!
