Abstract:In this article, we investigate the use of the OO computational paradigm for the formulation of knowledge model patterns as OO analysis patterns. We seek to take advantage of research on design pattern specification, aimed at modelling patterns by means of structural and behavioural "meta-level" constraints, introducing appropriate modifications into the UML. We illustrate our argument with the formulation of an OO "assessment pattern" in analogy to the well known "assessment task template".
