Abstract
Despite the growing adoption of object-relational mapping frameworks, UML and its most widespread extensions do not represent these mappings in a platform independent way. Maintaining mappings scattered in the code is difficult and error prone, specially if the schema is large and serves several systems. This paper proposes ENORM, a notation that extends class models representing all the essential mappings. ENORM is platform independent, providing a meta-model based on design patterns employed by three frameworks of Java, Ruby, and Python languages. An empirical evaluation indicates that ENORM performs well in comparison to separated models.
