Conceptual Modeling for Mobile Maintenance: The ComVantage Case

The paper presents a fragment of a hybrid modeling method designed for the maintenance sub domain of the ComVantage EU research project. The method as a whole addresses modeling needs for business stakeholders trying to achieve business-IT alignment with the technological specificity of the run-time prototypes of the ComVantage research project - more specifically, a front-end based on mobile apps with a back-end of Linked Data, in order to support collaborative business processes. Mobile maintenance is one of the project application areas and it has its own domain specificity, captured in the modeling method fragment described by the paper. Concepts from several layers of abstraction have been integrated in a metamodel, partially implemented in a modeling tool. Additionally, an RDF export mechanism has been designed to expose the visual models as RDF data structures, thus bridging the design-time and run-time facets of the project.
