Abstract

This paper addresses a high level semantic integration of software artefacts for the development of Domain Specific Languages (DSL). The solution presented in the paper utilizes a concept of DSL meta-model ontology that is defined in the paper as consisting of a system ontology linked to one or more domain ontologies. It enables dynamic semantic integration of software artefacts for the composition of a DSL meta-model. The approach is prototypically implemented in Java as an extension to the DSL development tool CoCoViLa.
