Structural model

The structural metamodel enables the specification of a domain model using the typical concepts of a class diagram. Elements such as Classes, Properties, Associations, and Generalizations can be instantiated to define the static structure of a system or application. While this metamodel is rooted in the UML specification, certain modifications and additions have been implemented to provide additional modeling capabilities. For instance, the is_id attribue has been introduced in the Property class to specify whether a property serves as an identifier for the instances of that class, a common need in many code generation scenarios.

Note

This figure contains only the main classes, attributes, and methods of the B-UML language. For a detailed description please refer to the API documentation.

Available Data Types

BESSER provides a comprehensive set of primitive data types for modeling. The available types include StringType, IntegerType, FloatType, BooleanType, DateType, TimeType, DateTimeType, TimeDeltaType and AnyType. These types can be used to define properties and attributes in your structural models.

Supported notations

To create a structural model, you can use any of these notations:

• Coding in Python Using the B-UML python library

• Using PlantUML to design you structural model

• Providing an image (e.g., a photo of yor class diagram model)
