Methods for XML Based Data Modeling and Model-Driven Development of Interfaces in Ship Combat System Simulation

The modeling method becoming more standardization now as simulation technology developing. In simulation of ship combat system, the data model has three levels including conceptual, logical, and physical. UML and XML is used to do data modeling as UML class diagram for conceptual model, XML Schema for logical model, and XML documents for the final data which is described and restricted by XML Schemas. To describe the process and method of data modeling an example is given. And a general message parser is implemented by model driven development method.
