Oslo Modeling Language, The

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version. The "e;Oslo"e; Modeling Language (commonly referred to as "e;M"e;) is a language for defining domain models and languages (the latter are often referred to as textual DSLs). "e;M"e; was created to allow developers to efficiently capture their intention in a form that is natural to author but also efficient to store and query using off-the-shelf database technology. This book comes from the original creators of "e;M"e;--David Langworthy, Brad Lovering, and Don Box--and is the definitive reference to the language. If you are looking for a compact textual notation for writing down information or schematizing structured and unstructured data, this book is for you. This book is the authoritative specification of the "e;M"e; language (draft) and describes the syntax and underlying model of the language. Highlights of this book include: * An Introduction to domain modeling constructs * An Introduction to constructs for building textual DSLs * Complete syntax for the language * Definition of the "e;M"e; type system and data model * Glossary of terms
