Washing symbols are a universal way to quickly explain key properties of a piece of cloth and how you should handle it. A similar approach for models would help designers to understand the context, goal, quality,... of a model they just ran into.

Continuity is a drawing and a modeling tool at the same time and tries to combine the best of both worlds to help you create beautiful formal models

TemporalEMF adds native temporal support for models. Models are automatically treated as temporal models and can be subjected to temporal queries to retrieve the model contents at different points in time. Behind the scenes, the history of a model is transparently stored in a NoSQL database. 

A common problem when modeling software systems is the lack of support to specify how to enforce privacy concerns in data models. In this post, we propose a profile to define and enforce privacy concerns in UML class diagrams. Models annotated with our profile can be used in model-driven methodologies to generate privacy-aware applications.

System evolution is hard to manage unless done systematically. This is especially important in product line engineering. Our approach is a methodology to directly contain the risk of the “exponential rise in complexity” for rapidly evolving product lines.

We propose the integration of digital watermarking techniques in the model-driven engineering development lifecycle as way to protect the intellectual property of your modeling artefacts in collaborative modeling scenarios

We present our new tool OpenAPItoUML to generate UML models from OpenAPI definitions, thus offering a better visualization of the data model and operations of REST APIs. OpenAPItoUML is available as an open source Eclipse plugin.

Clearly, the huge potential of modeling has not come to fruition yet. Read on to see why and what are the requirements we propose for a transformation of modeling technologies in a complete new ecosystem, called miotope

Modelling is a useful technique for shaping, exploring, documenting, understanding and communicating artefacts of many kinds, and not only software. ConML is a conceptual modelling language for non-experts in information technologies and especially suited to serve non-software modeling domains.

OData is a protocol to facilitate the publication and consumption of queryable and interoperable data-driven services. OData is based on the use of RESTful APIs derived from a data model. We present a model-driven approach to automate the generation of OData services from data sources
