Business knowledge-based generation of the system class model

The article presents principles of the Enterprise model-based generation of the Class model of the system (on the Platform independent level). Enterprise model being an integral part of the Repository of a CASE system becomes a core structure (Knowledge base) for the accumulation of business domain knowledge. The put-pose of this article is to show that the knowledge stored in the Knowledge base is enough to generate one of the main models of the object-oriented Information systems development approaches, namely, Class model on the Platform independent level. In order to show the basic principles of the Class model generation algorithm, Enterprise and Class metamodels as well as mappings between the corresponding elements of these metamodels are presented and briefly discussed. The algorithm of the Class model generation and a brief overview of its realization are also presented in this paper.
