Aspect Weaving in MDA for Ontology Modelling

Abstract

A software developer’s dream is to capture the vision of an application and transform into its realization. In reality the requirement of an application is affected by the implementation platforms specifications. But recently the popularity of upcoming technologies like MDA has facilitated the clear separation of abstraction at different layers and then generation of implementation from them. Also separation of concerns is the desired feature of software development. Clearing concerns results in better modularity in both design and implementation. Aspect oriented programming (AOP) is another recent technology that promises separation of concerns. This paper proposes a model driven architecture with aspect weaving for ontology modelling
