This paper presents the specification of an Is_A hierarchies reorganization method, called REORG, with a process modeling language called MAP. REORG proposes two complementary mechanisms: the splitting and the restructuring mechanisms. The first one derives Is_A hierarchies concealed in existing entities. The second one performs grouping of existing entities without losing the inheritance semantics by introducing several types of constraints. MAP is a process modeling language that provides a formalism combining visual facilities and formal descriptions of information systems processes. The specification of REORG with MAP supplies a process model, which makes explicit modeling practices and then allows the integration of these practices into any CASE tool.
