Abstract

In this paper, we propose a methodological approach for the model driven development of secure XML Databases (DB). This proposal is under the framework of MIDAS, a model driven methodology for the development of Web Information Systems (WIS) based on the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG). The XML DB development process in MIDAS proposes to use as Platform Independent Model (PIM) the data conceptual model and as Platform Specific Model (PSM) the XML Schema model, both of them represented in UML. In this work, such models will be modified to be able to add security aspects if the stored information is considered as critical. On the one hand, it is proposed the use of a UML extension to incorporate security aspects at the conceptual secure DB development (PIM) level and on the other hand, the previously-defined XML schema profile will be modified with the purpose of incorporating security aspects in the logical secure XML DB development (PSM) level. In addition, the semi-automatic mappings to pass from PIM to PSM for secure XML DB will be defined. The development process of a secure XML DB will be shown through a case study: a WIS for the management of hospital information in an XML DB.
