Abstract

OntoUML is an ontologically well-founded conceptual modelling language that distinguishes various types of classifiers and relations providing precise meaning to the modelled entities. Efforts arise to incorporate OntoUML into the Model-Driven Development approach as a conceptual modelling language for the PIM of application data. In our previous research, we outlined our approach to the transformation of an OntoUML PIM into an ISM of a relational database. In a parallel paper, we discuss the details of the transformation of Rigid Sortal Types, while this paper is focused on the transformation of Anti-rigid Sortal Types.

This research was partially supported by grant by Student Grant Competition No. SGS16/120/OHK3/1T/18.
