Abstract

This paper presents an approach to integrate concepts realizing multiple classification and dynamic reclassification into the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) in order to overcome the restricted number of modeling concepts of EMF and the strong class-object-relationship of Java. Hereby, the impact of integrating knowledge modeling approaches – as realized with Protégé – into EMF without extending Java itself is examined. Consequently, objects are configurable during the system development life-cycle by retyping. In combination with reasoning functionality – as known from knowledge management frameworks – several pieces of knowledge can be inferred and checked automatically as illustrated by examples from aerospace industry. As a result, inconsistencies can be revealed much easier leading to considerably less potential for failures and a drastically reduction of follow-on costs. Significant improvements in areas like, object classification, knowledge derivation, and guided system development, are highlighted in this paper.
