Abstract

Meta data data about data improves the value of the operational data by giving applications and users additional information on the dataýs origin, its precision or staleness. We outline the benefits of modeling meta data in context models: it can be used for resource finding, enhanced data selection, trust and data quality issues and sensor fusion. We show how meta data included into an object-based context model influences the data modeling and the selection process in the query language. Finally, we describe our implementation of the presented functionality in the Nexus platform.

Model-driven engineering with domain-specific meta-modelling languages

Domain-specific modelling languages are normally defined through general-purpose meta-modelling languages like the MOF. While this is satisfactory for many model-driven engineering (MDE) projects, several researchers have identified the need for domain-...

Example-driven meta-model development

The intensive use of models in model-driven engineering (MDE) raises the need to develop meta-models with different aims, such as the construction of textual and visual modelling languages and the specification of source and target ends of model-to-...
