Ontology as a Modeling Tool within Model Driven Architecture Abstraction

This paper is focused on automatic transformation process of top levels of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) within the information system development phase. System architects are always trying to find easier, complex and more united way of information system development. Although the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) provides a set of guidelines for the structuring of specifications it also comes with challenging tasks of transformations between the various levels of abstraction. The primary objective of this work is to design a universal automated approach within the Computer Independent Model (CIM) and Platform Independent Model (PIM) manual transformation. The manual process of the transformations within MDA could be automated using ontology model with the combination of mapping rules and Extensible Markup Process Definition Language (XPDL) and Extensible Markup Language Metadata interchange (XMI) conversion.
