Asset Oriented Modeling (AOM)

- Step by Step (6) -

Adding details

After transformation to Level 2 we can add details such as

• Global Model settings
• Namespace and Scope
• Types
• Constraints
• Operations
• Annotations

Example (changes in red):

Notes:

• We have added a range specification >department to the arc leading from forwards to c:department to allow the arc to address all instances of Level 2 Structure department. Without this specification a department could only forward orders to itself.
• We have introduced two namespaces, the default namespace www.corp.com/orders and a namespace www.corp.com which we plan to share with other development groups. Consequently, we have assigned assets that we want to share with others to this namespace. This will allow us to later merge our model with other models.
• As a type system we have used XML Schema. Not all properties are typed, for some we have left the type undefined.
• We have added a constraint that compares order date and the birth date of the customer. Note that customer inherits birthDate from person.
