“…After that experiment, we conducted the experiment [19,20] with database practitioners, which almost confirmed the previous results. Based on the semantic capacity of POMs, which was identified and proved in the previous research and conducted experiments, we specified the aforementioned DSL named BMRL and proposed the two-phase BPM-driven approach to CDM synthesis [17]. This approach is depicted in Fig.…”

“…The proposed approach enables implementation of a modular tool for BPM-driven CDM synthesis, which consists of loosely coupled components aimed at automatic extraction of specific concepts from the source BPMs represented by different concrete notations, their BMRL-based representation, and automatic CDM generation. Like all tools in the existing tool-supported MDSDM approaches, our initial set of tools, presented in [17], was also platform-dependent, since all tools were implemented as Eclipse plug-ins. In order to obtain a platform-independent and publicly available tool for the BPM-driven CDM synthesis, we performed the migration of these tools into a SOA 11 application.…”

“…Currently, two extractor services (shown as BPMN extractor and UML AD extractor in Fig 9) are implemented. Implementation is based on the Java archives (JAR) obtained by exporting the Acceleo-based extractors [17]. The proposed architecture enables easy extension of the online generator by additional extractors aimed at extraction of characteristic concepts from BPMs represented by other notations.…”

“…In the second phase, the orchestrator service sends the generated BMRL representation (input.bmrl) to the generator service (UML CD generator), which takes the BMRL code, generates the XMI representation of the target CDM (cdm.uml) and returns it to the orchestrator service. Implementation of the generator service is based on the Java archive obtained by exporting the Xtend-based generator [17].…”

“…This article constitutes an extended and complete version of two closely related conference papers. The first paper [17], which proposed the first ideas about two-phase data model synthesis, was presented at the 7th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering -MEDI'17. The second paper [18], which presented implementation of the first online two-phase BPM-driven CDM generator, was presented at the 8th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics -WIMS'18.…”

Existing approaches to business process model-driven synthesis of data models are characterized by a direct synthesis of a target model based on source models represented by concrete notations, where the synthesis is supported by monolithic (semi)automatic transformation programs. This article presents an approach to automated two-phase business process model-driven synthesis of conceptual database models. It is based on the introduction of a domain specific language (DSL) as an intermediate layer between different source notations and the target notation, which splits the synthesis into two phases: (i) automatic extraction of specific concepts from the source model and their DSL-based representation, and (ii) automated generation of the target model based on the DSL-based representation of the extracted concepts. The proposed approach enables development of modular transformation tools for automatic synthesis of the target model based on business process models represented by different concrete notations. In this article we present an online generator, which implements the proposed approach. The generator is implemented as a web-based, service-oriented tool, which enables automatic generation of the initial conceptual database model represented by the UML class diagram, based on business models represented by two concrete notations.
