GRAPHICAL METHOD OF SEMANTIC ORIENTED MODEL ANALYSIS AND TRANSFORMATION DESIGN
First Claim
1. The graphical method of semantic-oriented model transformation design comprising the steps of:
- (a) grouping of the UML model elements, so they can be mapped or transformed to the high-level concepts of business ontology by selecting the groups of model elements, such as classes and associations in the object-oriented terms using the new tooling capability named as Semantic Lasso;
(c) assigning selected groups to the high-level modeling abstractions, otherwise known as high-level business concepts.

Abstract
User is given the new modeling capability, a Semantic Lasso, which allows grouping of the model elements, so they can be mapped or transformed to the high-level concepts of business ontology. Such grouping is done by drawing of the line contour around relevant to advertised high-level concept model elements on one of the OMG Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams. In addition the user is given a capability to specify extension points of the high-level concepts and the projection of such extension points to the individual model. Another tooling capability, a Semantic Transformation Lens, allows dynamic graphical projection of the individual model fragments to the high-level concepts as those elements are being selected. Semantic Transformation Lens provides the mechanism of reasoning-based smart selection.
