The UML profile for Enterprise Distributed Object Computing (EDOC) is a standard of the Object Management Group in support of open distributed computing using model-driven architecture and service-oriented architecture. Its aim is to simplify the development of component based (EDOC) systems by providing a UML-based modeling framework conforming to the MDA of the OMG.

The basis of EDOC is the Enterprise Collaboration Architecture, ECA, meta model that defines how roles interact within communities in the performance of collaborative business processes.

01The seven EDOC specifications

EDOC is composed of seven specifications:

  1. The Enterprise Collaboration Architecture, ECA
  2. The Metamodel and UML Profile for Java and EJB
  3. The Flow Composition Model, FCM
  4. The UML Profile for Patterns
  5. The UML Profile for ECA
  6. The UML Profile for Meta Object Facility
  7. The UML Profile for Relationships

Model-driven engineering

Model-driven engineering is a software development methodology that focuses on creating and exploiting domain models, which are conceptual models of all the topics related to a specific problem. Hence, it highlights and aims at abstract representations of the knowledge and activities that govern a particular application domain, rather than the computing (i.e., algorithmic) concepts.

Model-driven architecture

Model-driven architecture is a software design approach for the development of software systems. It provides a set of guidelines for the structuring of specifications, which are expressed as models.

Metamodeling

A metamodel is a model of a model, and metamodeling is the process of generating such metamodels. Thus metamodeling or meta-modeling is the analysis, construction, and development of the frames, rules, constraints, models, and theories applicable and useful for modeling a predefined class of problems.
