 						<h2>Model</h2>

 <h3>UML</h3>
 CoCaLiMo is a model, its defined as UML class diagrams and has documentation for each class and attribute, it has no operations.<br><br>
 We build up model instances, they are stored as CoCaSon files. <br><br>
 CoCoMo focusses on 4 different parts of the model:<br><br>
 <ul>
 <li>Requirements</li>
 <li>Functional design</li>
 <li>Testing</li>
 </ul><br>

 CoCoMo for SMCubes adds the following parts to the model: <br><br>

 <ul>
 <li>Data Structures (defined by SMCubes)</li>
 <li>Input Data (which matches the dat structures)</li>
 	</ul><br>

 	Note that the input data can be linked to tests. input data is linked to data structures, requirements are linked to functional design, and functional design is linked to tests.<br><br>
 	Note that the UML for data structures is basically the same as the UML of SMCubes .<br><br>
 An example of the UML for SMCubes is here:<br>
 <img src="core.jpg" alt="" height="600" width="800"> <br>
 A ‘model instance’ is a concrete instance of some classes (e.g. a VARIABLE with the name attribute set to ‘CountryOfResidence’ with an associated Domain Object with a name attribute set to ‘Countries’) . <br> <br>
 Instances of the models can be stored as CoCaSon, and can be loaded into memory as in memory objects. <br> <br>

 <h3>Technology-Independent API </h3>
 For each UML model we provide an API of useful functions around that model, for example providing the results of queries on that model (e.g. to provide to a UI), or translating from one model to another . <br><br>
 Typically, we split this API into model queries and more advanced manipulations which we call the component API.<br><br>

 <h3>Reference Implementation with UI</h3>
 We provide an implementation of the models , model queries, component API, and models in Java, in particular we use the Eclipse  Modelling Framework, which describes models using the Ecore standard.<br><br>
  Ecore is an implementation of the EMOF standard for model driven engineering, provided by the Object Management Group who also manage the UML Standard.<br><br>
 We provide a visual user interface based on Eclipse Sirius model visualization tool. Other user interfaces could be built on top of the technology independent API.<br><br>
