ABSTRACT

A database driven web application is a very common software solution to rising business problems.

Modeling the database and the software architecture can be challenging, hence there not being one

combined modeling language for database and software architecture, specifically suited for web

application development. In this paper we present Database object-oriented Modeling Language (DooML)

and its primary Archetype Diagram: a notation for specifying the design of a database schema and

corresponding object-oriented software architecture. It combines the syntax for drawing Entity

Relationship Diagrams, the Relational Model and Universal Modeling Language Class Diagrams as well

to create a mixed diagram, stating database design as well as software design specifications. By default,

DooML ensures that the approach of advanced web application development is model-driven and both

database-oriented as well as object-oriented.

1. INTRODUCTION

In this paper we present a new modeling language for the database-driven development of object

oriented (web) applications, that combines both the database-oriented as well as the object-

oriented approach of web application development.

The Database Object-Oriented Modeling Language (abbreviated as DooML) is designed to be a

universal back-end software engineering modeling language for the purpose of graphically

defining a combined model for both database design and object-oriented structural code design. It

can be used to design code structures for database-driven web applications that make use of

modern object-oriented programming languages (e.g. Java, C# or PHP) and a relational database

for data storage.

In modern software development, object-oriented software applications can be modeled using

technical diagrams that are part of the UML standard, using class diagrams, sequence diagrams

and state diagrams.

For database design, several diagrams can be used, of which the Entity-Relationship Diagram is a

commonly used approach. Song, Evans & Park [1] stated several notational techniques that exist

International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications (IJSEA), Vol.13, No.5, September 2022

to model Entity-Relationship Diagrams, where for the purpose of clarity the method of Chen

(1976) is used as inspiration for the development of the DooML modeling language.

DooML combines the syntax for drawing Entity Relationship Diagrams [2], the Relational Model

[3] and Universal Modeling Language Class Diagrams [4] or some versions of SysML [5] as well

to create a mixed diagram, stating database design as well as software design specifications. It

differs from SecureUML [6], as DooML is not emphasizing on creating applications with a focus

on security-driven development. The DooML language as such differs from the combined

concept of Chen and Lu [7], which is primarily focused on manufacturing control systems

(embedded appliances).

The authors have also taken interest into the modeling language called WebML, as described by

Ceri, Fraternali and Bongio [8], that is primarily focused on the navigation within a web

application but does not make use of a components that describe the (relational) data storage.

Figure 1 shows common modeling principles for each of the development areas: application

modeling (e.g. UML), database modeling (using ERD or EER) or API modeling (using

SwaggerHub). A combined database/application/API modeling language should reside in the

center of the Venn-diagram: DooML.

corresponding modeling techniques

Using a programming language and database independent modeling scheme and syntax, a

technical design for both the (code classes of) the application as well as the underlying database

tabular schema can be created in one combined diagram: the DooML Archetype Diagram. By

creating a combined diagram, one can use one diagram to effectively create both an application

schematic as well as the corresponding database lay-out.

DooML Archetype Diagrams do not qualify as an Object Relational Mapping because it does not

focus primarily on the mapping between (instantiated) objects and database relationships,
