Abstract

In France Telecom research center in Lannion (France) we have been working for three years on OO modeling as a promising technology for unifying the representation of data. This has led us to develop a Model Repository Tool, which offers, as its default configuration, a full support for the UML 1.3 meta-model. The tool enables the manipulation of models by means of a Java or Python API. It provides a rich and flexible registration capability based on an explicit identification, relying on a two-leveled hierarchical naming space. The paper focuses on the design aspects of the repository tool and highlights its similarities and differences with the design principles of OMG Meta Object Facility specification.
