96 CHAPTER 6. PRO-SEAT (PROCESS SEMANTIC ANNOTATION TOOL)
A process knowledge query application module interacts with the OWL module by
loading the ontology and the annotation results for an ontology-based query.
The user interface module manages interactions between a user and the system, so
that it connects most system modules. Figure 6.1 specifies the interaction relations
between those system modules.
6.2 Data Structure
In this section, we present the data structures using RML from the logical view to specify
the interrelations between the entities participating in the system. We have adapted
the MDD (Model Driven Development) methodology in the design and the implementation
of the prototype. The structured entities in the design phase correspond to the
Java Classes and Interfaces in the implementation.
Figure 6.2: Structure of entities in the Pro-SEAT prototype
Figure 6.3: Structure of entities in the profile annotation
First, we provide an overview of data structures of the entities in Figure 6.2. Generally,
an annotation structure is the annotation link between a model and the annotation
framework. A model usually consists of meta-model file(s) and model file(s). Both
