Abstract

Now that the Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) has stabilized, several ODP standards must be defined. These standards include ODP functions and ODP transparencies. We address in this paper issues related to the ODP information viewpoint standards. Firstly, using the ODP information concepts and based on the trends in software engineering and in the formal specification and description techniques, we justify that OCL is one of the appropriate formal languages for the ODP information viewpoint specifications. Secondly, we use OCL for the information viewpoint specification of the ODP trading function. The OCL gives the abilities to attach constraints to any meta-model, to verify their coherence and to translate the constraints into code for evaluating them on instance models.
