Incremental definition and operationalization of domain-specific markup languages in ADDS

Abstract

ADDS is our proposal for the development of content-intensive applications. Applications in ADDS are produced by processing documents that describe their main aspects and that have been marked up using application-dependent, Domain-Specific Markup Languages (DSMLs). To make ADDS of practical value, we promote the incremental definition of DSMLs, as well as their incremental operationalization (i.e. the incremental construction of their processors). In this paper we describe how this incremental definition is carried out by using a technique called PADDS (DSML Provision in ADDS), and how incremental operationalization is accomplished using a model called OADDS (Operationalization in ADDS).
