“…The combination of patterns and model-driven software development such as MDA is described in various books and articles. Two examples are: [24], which presents a patternbased model driven architecture approach, and [25], which introduces REA (resources, events, agents) patterns (business patterns) in connection with modeling techniques. Data integration is not covered on a detailed level (see Section 3.3).…”

Data integration is one of the core responsibilities of EDM (enterprise data management) and interoperability. It is essential for almost every digitalization project, e.g., during the migration from a legacy ERP (enterprise resource planning) software to a new system. One challenge is the incompatibility of data models, i.e., different software systems use specific or proprietary terminology, data structures, data formats, and semantics. Data need to be interchanged between software systems, and often complex data conversions or transformations are necessary. This paper presents an approach that allows software engineers or data experts to use models and patterns in order to specify data integration: it is based on data models such as ER (entity-relationship) diagrams or UML (unified modeling language) class models that are well-accepted and widely used in practice. Predefined data integration patterns are combined (applied) on the model level leading to formal, precise, and concise definitions of data transformations and conversions. Data integration definitions can then be executed (via code generation) so that a manual implementation is not necessary. The advantages are that existing data models can be reused, standardized data integration patterns lead to fast results, and data integration specifications are executable and can be easily maintained and extended. An example transformation of elements of a relational data model to object-oriented data structures shows the approach in practice. Its focus is on data mappings and relationships.

Model transformation is a keystone in carrying out model-driven development. Currently, many studies have focused on model transformation, those researches study the automatic transformation from PIM to PSM and from PSM to code, but only few have dealt with how the CIM-level model is automatically mapped onto the PIM-level model. Even though some studies have proposed the semi-automatic transformation from CIM-level model to PIM-level model, only few mechanisms are discussed to protect the consistency between the CIM-level model and the PIM-level model in these researches because notation specification of these CIM-level model and PIM-level model does not contain precise semantics. Focusing on workflow perspective, this paper proposes an automatic model transformation approach, which applies a formal model to define the automatic mapping of the workflow from CIM-level model to PIM-level model. This proposal extends Petri nets model elements to define a bridge model, then we use this bridge model to link the CIM-level model (BPMN) and PIM-level model (SCM) following model-driven approach. The metamodels, the transformation rule and the transformation plug-ins have been defined in Eclipse Modeling Framework. Meanwhile, the plug-ins have been empirically validated by a Travel Agency case study. This study shows that using extended Petri nets model as a bridge model to define an automatic model transformation between CIM-level model and PIM-level model is feasible. This approach by means of formal model can ensure the correctness and completeness of the target model, and it can also maintain the consistency between the source model and target model.
