Abstract

Many authors agree on the importance of choosing good names for conceptual schema elements. Several proposals of naming guidelines are available in the literature, but the support offered by current CASE tools is very limited and, in many cases, insufficient. In this demonstration we present an Eclipse plugin that implements a specific proposal of naming guidelines. The implemented proposal provides a guideline for every kind of named element in UML. By using this plugin, the modelers can automatically check whether the names they gave to UML elements are grammatically correct and generate a verbalization that can be analysed by domain experts.
