Applying a data-centric framework for developing model transformations

Published: 08 April 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Data-centric (Dc) and declarative languages are being used for data processing in several application domains, such as distributed systems, natural language processing, and others. In Model Transformations (MT), recognized declarative and hybrid languages have been used to develop model transformation rules. Considering the execution semantics, a large part use functional-like or graph-matching semantics. However, these new data processing frameworks have different execution capabilities and semantics. In this context, it is important to take stock of existing approaches for providing transformation engines with alternative semantics and in a distributed way. In this paper, we present a study on applying a data-centric language called Bloom to develop model transformations. We developed an extractor into its collection-based format and then processed them using its highly-declarative rules. The results show the feasibility of applying data centric approaches for MDE applications.
