description
The NIEM Modeling Tool project is an open source toolset built on the Eclipse 4 platform for creating standards-based information exchanges between local and national law enforcement agencies. With the beta launch of the project this month, we take a step back to reflect on what it takes to write a graphical language workbench for a UML PIM DSL. Using Martin Fowler's criteria for defining a new DSL as the framework for this session, we will explore some of the NIEM toolset's features and how you can use these same ideas to develop a graphical IDE for other DSLs: * UML Stereotypes to represent a language syntax * Papyrus extensions, palette and properties view customizations for the graphical editor * QVT to generate artifacts from the abstract representation * Lucene for indexing existing libraries for import them into your model * Epsilon for runtime validation Tim Myer is an XP coach and programmer at SolutionsIQ, a leading provider of Agile transformation services that takes a real-world approach to delivering Agile at scale. SEARCH is dedicated to improving the quality of justice and public safety through the use, management and exchange of information; application of new technologies; and responsible law and policy, while safeguarding security and privacy. NIEM is a community-driven, government-wide, standards-based approach to exchanging information.

What is a DSL?
• A limited form of language• Addresses a specific need• Has structure• Structure determines concrete
syntax
Abstract / Config
How Can We Describe It?
• External• Translated from another
language• Internal
• Subset of the host
Internal /
External
Platform Independent and Specific Models
PIM/ PSM
Projecting Editor
• Storage representation• Textual files
• Editable representation• AST• Allows errors and ambiguities
Work-bench
Making Abstractions Concrete
• Semantics of the DSL• Turn a PIM to a PSM• Turn a PSM into XSDs, MPD, IEPD,
