Although OCL is thus an important tool, it can be hard to find
information about it. For example, there is still a lack of good
teaching modules for OCL. Furthermore, case studies on projects could
help potential users to find out whether or not OCL is the proper
formalism for their problems.
The worldwide OCL community has developed various (open-source) OCL
tools. These can and should be integrated into UML CASE tools to support
precise specification of UML models beyond the pure specification of OCL
expressions as strings.
For this reason, the OCL community decided at the 2005 Workshop on OCL
at the MoDELS conference to set up an OCL portal website collecting all
information about OCL.
The portal relies on your collaboration. Therefore you are invited to
put your OCL activities/knowledge at the portal! The OCL Portal provides
editing capabilities both to members of the academic/research OCL
community and OCL users/developers of CASE tools in industrial
environments. Registration is free. After a confirmation procedure, you
will be able to add your own teaching material, projects, toolkits, case
studies etc. Furthermore, we are always happy on feedback about this
site and will make every effort to improve the site in accordance with
your needs and suggestions.
You can reach the OCL Portal at http://st.inf.tu-dresden.de/oclportal/.
