Model conversion method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a model conversion method. The model conversion method includes acquiring structural model metadata, calling metadata analysis plugins corresponding to format types of the structural model metadata, and analyzing the structural model metadata to acquire structured data information of a structural model; establishing a universal model for transmitting the structured data information of the structural model; writing the corresponding structured data information in a universal model according to the structured data information of the structural model; acquiring structured data information of the universal model; establishing a unified modeling language (UML) model, and writing the corresponding structured data information in the UML model according to the structured data information of the universal model. Besides, the invention further discloses a corresponding model conversion device. The model conversion method and device are used for converting the structural model to the UML model, conversion logics of the universal model and the UML model can be packaged, and packaging and extension of the conversion logics of the structural model in different metadata formats and the universal model are supported.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a model conversion method and device. Background technique [0002] Unified Modeling Language (UML, Unified Modeling Language), as a common model description in the industry, has the advantages of unified standard, object-oriented and intuitive graphical expression. However, the structured models established in the process of software development are not all established by UML, but by other languages. Most other languages ​​are expressed in the form of text, lack of intuitive graphic description, and are not easy to understand and analyze, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML, Extensible Markup Language). If the models of other languages ​​are converted into UML models, the shortcomings of other languages ​​that are not intuitive enough will undoubtedly be overcome. For example, in the development process of some enterprise management software, the models output by the development p...

Problems solved by technology

Other languages ​​are mostly expressed in the form of text, lacking intuitive graphic description, and not easy to understand and analyze, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML, Extensible Markup Language)

If the models in other languages ​​are converted to UML models, it will undoubtedly overcome the shortcomings of other languages ​​that are not intuitive enough

For example, in the development process of some enterprise management software, the models output by the development platform based on Model Driven Architecture (MDA, Model Driven Architecture) are generally private, and the language models described in text form, such as XML models, are not Support UML language, can not output UML model

Therefore, in general, the structured model output by the MDA development platform cannot use UML tools for model editing and integration, and cannot intuitively analyze the model, nor can it directly use other existing UML models, which affects the efficiency of software development
