摘要
Domain-specific metamodeling language(DSMML) defined by informal method cannot strictly represent its structural semantics,so its properties such as consistency cannot be holistically and systematically verified.In response,the paper proposes a formal representation of the structural semantics of DSMML named extensible markup language(XML) based metamodeling language(XMML) and its metamodels consistency verification method.Firstly,we describe our approach of formalization,based on this,the method of consistency verification of XMML and its metamodels based on first-order logical inference is presented;then,the formalization automatic mapping engine for metamodels is designed to show the feasibility of our formal method.
Domain-specific metamodeling language （DSMML） defined by informal method cannot strictly repre- sent its structural semantics, so its properties such as consistency cannot be holistically and systematically verified. In response, the paper proposes a formal representation of the structural semantics of DSMML named extensi- ble markup language （XML） based metamodeling language （XMML） and its metamodels consistency verification method. Firstly, we describe our approach of formalization, based on this, the method of consistency verification of XMML and its metamodels based on first-order logical inference is presented; then, the formMization automatic mapping engine for metamodels is designed to show the feasibility of our formal method.
