Creating the laboratory weaving links


Creating links between project names

To create a link between the two laboratory elements (for example project names ) you can use the drop down menu and create all the elements hierarchy ( Link -> Link End ) until definining the right and left metamodels references as shown in the screen shot below.

You can also drag and drop an element from left to right. That way all the element hierarchy will be automatically created having the current selected object (Model) as parent. (drag and drop operations are enabled following object type).



Creating association between links

After defining weaving links between right and left metamodels, you could create an association between links to express some domain specific relation (for example a foreign constraint). You must do the same as for creating a link (with the menu or drag and drop), and than define the associated links.

You can see the final result in the following screen shot. When an association is selected all the related elements as also selected for a better link visualization


You can then save all the created elements or anulate the operations using undo-redo menus. The created weaving model is saved in a ".xmi" format into the workspace.
