REPRESENTING LANGUAGES IN UML - A UML Profile for Language Engineering

Francisco Gortázar, Abraham Duarte, Micael Gallego

2007

Abstract

In this paper a UML profile for textual concrete syntax specification is described. The profile provides the necessary elements to associate the concrete syntax of a language L to an abstract syntax model of L. Such augmented abstract syntax model is called the language model of L. This language model avoids keeping the abstract and concrete syntaxes synchronized. We take advantage of the similarities between object oriented modeling and BNF-based language specification, and use a profile to specify the dissimilarities.
