EDIT WP5 Internet Platform for Cybertaxonomy

This presentation discusses the challenges and benefits of modelling taxonomical and inventorying activities in a unified way. It explores the multi-level approach, disciplinary dimension, and bottleneck analysis, and proposes a model-view approach for unifying modelling efforts.

  1. EDIT WP5 Internet Platform for Cybertaxonomy Modelling for Inventory/Unification of modelling efforts Gubányi A.-Kiss, V.-Kilián, I. (Hungarian Natural History Museum) Meeting: HNHM Budapest, 7-May-07.

  2. Workflow Modelling • Challenges: • Modelling the Taxonomical/Inventorying activities in a unified way • Multi level approach – from the simplest to the most detailed abstraction/granularity • Disciplinary Dimension - Modelling the work of several experts by keeping the overlapping activities commonly defined • Bottleneck analysis: what CAN be and what SHOULD be supported in an electronical/computerized way

  3. Workflow Modelling • Targets: • Unified models for dataflow and control flow matters • Activity diagrams with control flow links • Object tags with control flow links

  4. Semantics of Activity Diagrams • Activities, links, conditions and tokens • Firing of an activity - if each incoming links deliver a token • Scheduling of outgoing tokens is unspecified • A composite activity is finished when each incoming activity is finished • Fork and Join nodes can be described by the means above • Decision and merge nodes can be described by the means above • Receive signal nodes: triggers • Object and activity nodes can be mixed

  5. Coping with diversity • Business Process (root package) + subpackages for certain disciplines • the root package contains concepts (activities, objects), that are common (inherited) for each branch-science • common visibility rule for structured and OO programming • subpackages contain concepts that are specific to the discipline • Problems: • when to be regarded specific? (The name should be different or the realization?) • an activity step is missing at a specific discipline • links (control/object flows) are represented in EA differently from classes

  6. Multiple level of abstraction • Compound activities, embedded structures • Model-view approach – a single, unified model in the background, with different projections/views

  7. Unification of modelling efforts • Common agreements (as described before) • Agreement on Package Structure. (Proposal disciplines-subdisciplines) • Agreement on Modelling Common Activities
