REQUEST (Semi-automated generation of database through business objects)

• Objectives:

Building intelligent tools intended to produce more quickly, and at lower cost, quality e-business web applications meeting in a more satisfactory way to customer requirements. The tools, which are components of DB-MAIN, have three goals:

• provide the user with a great freedom to express his needs (e.g., by drawing draft user interfaces to describe information and behavioural needs),
• assist the specialist in the analysis of these requirements
• semi-automated generation of the programs and database schemas.

ReQuest also makes it possible to interface the new applications with the back-office and to legacy data and services. The software is intended for SME willing to develop electronic commerce applications, either for third parties or for themselves.

• Results:
  • a comprehensive case study in which the end-user quickly builds its own interface as a collection of electronic forms, the database is semi-automatically generated, and the DB/BO mappings are semi-automatically derived

BioMaze (Biochemical database evolution)

• Objectives:

The objective of the project is to develop a web-based open knowledge base for the representation, extraction and processing of biochemical nets. The responsibility of the LIBD is focused on the design and evolution of the underlying database. In particularly, the BioMaze system includes components to keep, in a semi-automated way, the schemas, the data, the documentation and the OO API of the database synchronized with the conceptual evolution of the application domain. The documentation relies on OWL, so that a comprehensive OWL engineering toolset has been developed (transformation, generation, extraction, reverse engineering, validation). All the tools are components of DB-MAIN.
