Research on Historical Concept Modeling Language and Modeling Tool based on Model Driven Architecture

This paper proposes a framework for a model-driven historical compilation method. The basic idea is to distinguish historical conceptual models and historical works models, so as to support large and medium-scale historical compilations of “top-down, gradual refinement”. It focuses on defining the historical concept modeling language, and designing its abstract grammar, concrete grammar and semantics. Based on MetaEdit+, a preliminary graphical historical concept modeling tool is designed and implemented.
