slide2. A general-purpose modeling language (GPML) is broadly applicable for all kinds of modeling.
A domain-specific modeling language (DSML) is specialized to a specific application domain (e.g., aerospace, automotive, etc.), engineering domain (e.g., control, electrical, aerodynamics, etc.) or other purpose (e.g., supporting specific organizational processes).
Domain-specific modeling is systematically using DSMLs to model various facets of a system…
or
…systematically adapting a GPML to model different domains. 20 March 2025 2 Copyright © 2025 Model Driven Solutions, Inc. Domain-Specific Modeling<br>
slide3. SysML is a GPML for systems modeling.
SysML v1 was typically adapted for domain-specific modeling using profiles.
Stereotypes adapt specific SysML v1 elements for domain-specific concepts
Tools can key off stereotypes to provide domain-specific visualization, validation, etc.
SysML v1 was itself defined as a profile of UML.
However, stereotypes provide only a syntactic marker, with no formal specification of semantics.

metadata def drive specializes SemanticMetadata {

redefines baseType = wheels meta SysML::Usage;
subsets annotatedElement : SysML::Usage;
}
metadata def vehicle specializes SemanticMetadata {
redefines baseType = Vehicle meta SysML::Definition;
subsets annotatedElement : SysML::Definition;
}
} Metadata are user-definable, model-level annotations of an element. 20 March 2025 Copyright © 2025 Model Driven Solutions, Inc. 11 Semantic metadata links an element to a base type in a semantic library.<br>
slide12. Car Example Using Vehicle Metadata (DSML) package Car_Example {

#vehicle def Car {
#engine carEngine[1];
#wheel carWheels[4];
#drive interface
connect [1] carEngine.enginePort
to [2] carWheels.wheelPort;
}
} A user defined keyword is a shorthand for annotating an element with the named metadata. Semantic metadate implies specialization by the base type. Copyright © 2025 Model Driven Solutions, Inc. 12 20 March 2025<br>
