Abstract

Despite the specification of OCL mentions "query language" as one of its possible applications, there are rather few efforts in that direction. However, the problem becomes central where applying MDA to data intensive application modelling is considered. Recently added UML elements of Actions and Structured Activities make it possible to represent a level of detail similar to the one of common programming languages, but data processing requires adequate querying capability as well. As the OMG specification of the UML family, the Object Constraint Language becomes the most obvious candidate to serve this purpose. In this paper we research this role of OCL. Especially, we address the issues of seamless integration with UML metamodel and the useful features of query languages that are missing from OCL.
