ABSTRACT

The creation of conceptual data design that appropriately represents specific application domain is one of the main challenges in requirements engineering. An initiative to help designers is the Naked Objects framework, where it is possible to interact with conceptual model in a limited way. The interactions are restricted to entity creations and single object-relations. We created an extension of the Naked Objects framework using annotations to allow manipulation of higher level abstractions as specialization and object-relationship. These abstractions allow better interactions between the domain specialist and designers. The use of our approach to explore and validate data requirements has several benefits: 1) It reduces conceptual specification problems (like poorly data requirements identification); 2) It narrows the distance among domain and design specialists; 3) It allows the simultaneous exploration of the conceptual data design and the system requirements.
