Abstract

A well-conceived service or facility is always based on an underlying semantic model that is independent of the target platform. However, the model may not be distilled explicitly, and this is the case with OMG’s vertical domain specifications because the model is not expressed separately from its IDL interfaces. Therefore, these services and facilities have not received the recognition and use that they deserve outside of the CORBA environment. This paper reports on the application of MDA concepts on the development of a draft proposal for a Domain CORBA Facility for e-learning. In order to maximize the utility and impact of the domain facility in the MDA, it was modelled in the form of a normative Platform Independent Model (PIM) expressed using UML, augmented by a normative Platform Specific Model (PSM) expressed using the UML profile for CORBA and IDL interface definitions.
