Abstract
Temporal extensions of OCL have been proposed in the literature in order to express dynamic system properties of UML models. This paper reviews previous work on Temporal OCL based on dynamic, state-oriented behaviour specifications and gives a more general definition for Linear Temporal OCL (LT-OCL) for languages that are defined using MOF metamodels in conjunction with operational semantics. The definitions presented in this paper intend to pave the way for precise semantics of temporal OCL constraints of languages defined by other metamodels than UML.
