Abstract

The paper presents an online two-phase business process model-driven generator of the conceptual database model. The generator is implemented as a web-based, platform-independent tool, in contrast to the existing tools that are dependent on some specific technological platform used for their implementation. Unlike the existing approaches, which are characterised by the direct synthesis of the target model based on business process models represented by a sole concrete notation such as BPMN, the presented generator uses an indirect two-phase approach, which is based on the introduction of a simple domain specific language as an intermediate layer between source and target notations. The implemented online generator enables automatic generation of the target data model represented by UML class diagram, based on business process models represented by two concrete notations: BPMN and UML activity diagram.
