Abstract: A system and method for determining the flow of one or more business terms between a plurality of software applications. The system includes extracting data from the source code data which includes a plurality of technical artifacts. An application model unit generates an application model that includes a representation of selected data components of the extracted data and generates application model data that includes data representative of a plurality of business terms and a plurality of technical artifacts. A term identification identifies the business terms and a mapping unit maps together the plurality of business terms and the plurality of technical artifacts from the application model data to form map data. A term lineage determination unit determines an inter-application lineage of the business terms based on the map data. The inter-application lineage is representative of data paths associated with the business term flowing between the software applications.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying the paths or connections (i.e., term lineage) through which the values of business terms move or flow through a single software application. The term lineage identification system and method identifies the business terms from a data model extracted from source code, and then generates an enriched architecture diagram therefrom. The operator then selects one or more business terms that form part of a term lineage project, and then the system, based on the selection, generates or creates a term lineage diagram so as to discover and view the term lineage of the selected business terms.

Abstract: A method and computer program product are provided for extracting UML models from legacy applications. The system involves extraction of UML models and importing and exporting than to other commercial UML tools. In a more specific aspect, UML objects are associated with business rules which have been extracted from a legacy application. In particular, UML diagrams are extracted from a legacy application for Use Case diagrams, Activity diagrams from screen flows, and Activity diagrams from program logic.

Abstract: A system and methods for comparing differences and similarities of at least two models including generating corresponding metamodel maps, visual representation of the models, and conducting a series of phases of comparison of the models using a mapping index, wherein the mapping index includes the metamodel maps and the visual representation of the models to produce a comparison output.
