Using UML profile for connecting information architecture and detailed information design

Current Web modelling languages provide inadequate linkages between various modelling levels. Among various aspects, the problem of disconnection between business models, information architecture and detailed information models, also disconnection between functional architecture and information architecture are particularly focus of our work. We have developed UML profile for WIED (UPW) representing higher-level information aspects and demonstrated earlier its ability to address the problem of disconnection between business models and technical architecture besides integrating functional and information architectural aspects. In this paper we provide guidelines for mapping the UPW models to detailed information models. Resultantly, it enables UPW to form a bridge between higher-level information flows and detailed information design.
