Tools

The Model Catalogue is an online tool that supports the capture and documentation of metadata as generic and reusable models. The tool facilitates collaboration between metadata creators and potential users. The tool uses standards-based concepts for registration, versioning and a standard four level architecture with an API for interoperability with external tools. The model-driven data curation interfaces provide tools for the automatic generation of data-curation interfaces. The Model Catalogue Web interface currently supports the fundamental use case requirements: browsing, searching and editing/updating models. Eclipse Modeling Framework is fundamental to the majority of model-driven development tools within Eclipse and is also used as the basis for DSLs and transformations. Creating a useable system using Semantic Booster and Eclipse can be operationally challenging, requiring many non-trivial steps to setup a workable system. In order to support developers and end users of Semantic Booster systems, a number of features have been created and combined to form a Semantic Booster Development and Deployment Kit.
