AUTOMATION OF CANONICAL MODEL USAGE IN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES

摘要

Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatuses, and computing entities are provided for enforcing usage of a canonical model. For example, machine-automatable artifacts that express the canonical model using a set of metadata constraints and a set of transformation rules can be received from a canonical model artifact repository. These machine-automatable artifacts can be converted into language-specific bindings and applications can subsequently utilize those language-specific bindings to enforce conformity to the canonical model.

1. A method for enforcing usage of a canonical model, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing entity, machine-automatable artifacts from a canonical model artifact repository, the machine-automatable artifacts expressing the canonical model using a set of metadata constraints and a set of transformation rules; converting, by the computing entity, the received machine-automatable artifacts into language-specific bindings; and programming, by the computing entity, an application using the language-specific bindings to enforce conformity to the canonical model.
