Model Mapping Approach Based on Semantics Reconstruction

By abstractly analyzing the characteristic of syntax and semantics of modeling languages,a model mapping approach based on semantic consistency is proposed.To use this approach,abstract target semantic model should be constructed firstly.Then,based on the idea of elements in source semantic domain being reconstructed in the target semantic domain,mapping relations from source model to target model are made via abstract target semantic model.This approach may not only to be a theoretical guidance for model transformation,but also can be a measurement for validating the mapping rules between models at different abstract levels.JavaServer Faces assisted with Enterprise JavaBeans is used as a target platform to help interpreting the process of using this approach.
