M2M mapping and transformation tool for labeled property graphs

Abstract

Class Diagrams and Labeled Property Graphs are essential concepts in software development and are often used together in Model Driven Development approaches. This paper follows up on our previous work [1] that presented a new approach to transform models based on the analytical requirements. Nevertheless, these transformations can be complex and time-consuming when not supported by any tool. This follow-up paper presents a tool that supports the systematic applicability of transformation patterns by integrating several components and technologies. The proposed solution uses a rule-based approach to detect patterns in the input Class Diagrams model, performs data transformations, and generates mappings between different data models to obtain one or more Labeled Property Graphs.
