Final Public Summary Report

Final publishable Summary Report;

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (6)

Automated data testing & verification framework, Phase 2, 3

This is a prototype of new automated tools and methods for test-driven engineering based on developing UL’s RDFUnit tool to consume system specifications based on the ALIGNED meta-model and automatically generate and execute test cases for verification of data consistency, completeness and coverage. It will include a prototype for integrated data testing and verification through Maven as part of the software build reporting and documentation process. It will be updated in Phase 3 of the project on m30 by D4.7

Model Catalogue Tool, Phase 3

A model catalogue application will be created for visualisation, presentation, identification, composition and maintenance of ALIGNED semantic metamodels, models, and data. This tool will be integrated with the Eclipse IDE – permitting managed iterative development of designs. It shall generate ALIGNED system specifications from meta-models, Linked Data datasets and Linked Data descriptions of external software. This will require the definition of new techniques to map between Linked Data and B-model notation. This deliverable shall be led by Oxford Computer Science. It updates D3.2

Semantic Booster, Phase 3

This is a prototype Semantic Booster tool to generate transformations from ALIGNED system specifications into working systems or software artefacts. This shall support software evolution through validation and testing of models, transformation generation and automated data migration and testing. This shall include data transformers for both local system data (phase 2) and Linked Data (phase 3). It is led by Oxford Computer Science. It updates D3.3

Semantic Booster, Phase 2, 3

This is a prototype Semantic Booster tool to generate transformations from ALIGNED system specifications into working systems or software artefacts. This shall support software evolution through validation and testing of models, transformation generation and automated data migration and testing. This shall include data transformers for both local system data (phase 2) and Linked Data (phase 3). It is led by Oxford Computer Science. It will be updated for Phase 3 of the project on m30 by D3.6.

This tool will be integrated with the Eclipse IDE – permitting managed iterative development of designs.

This will require the definition of new techniques to map between Linked Data and B-model notation. This deliverable shall be led by Oxford Computer Science. It will be updated for Phase 3 of the project on m25 by D3.5

Automated data testing and verification framework, Phase 3

This is a prototype of new automated tools and methods for test-driven engineering based on developing UL’s RDFUnit tool to consume system specifications based on the ALIGNED meta-model and automatically generate and execute test cases for verification of data consistency, completeness and coverage. It will include a prototype for integrated data testing and verification through Maven as part of the software build reporting and documentation process. It updates D4.4
