The DRM provides a common, consistent way of categorizing and describing data to facilitate data sharing and integration
A model contains data defining the characteristics of a system. This data is used as a representation of that system for the purposes of conceptual understanding of a system controlling the exchange of information with that system controlling the presentation of that system information to end users The 'data' is typically called 'metadata' in this context
MOF is hard to teach Too abstract to understand But is the underlying architecture for MDA Secret weapon Ideal modeling technology, and The best integration architecture available It will be incorporated into most IT infrastructure over the next 10 years 20 years of disparate platforms MOF is a language used to define metamodels Metamodels define language/constructs to build models Relational for information sources BPEL, BPMI for business process XML Schema for XML documents UML for modeling applications MOF Metamodels are defined in terms of a common set of constructs Package, Classes, Attributes, Associations, References, etc. All MOF metamodels can be related MOF BENEFITS One modeling environment Information – data Logic Process Models are relatable Common constructs in disparate models can be related Best integration architecture to Model Drive execution engines
