Transformation of DEMO Metamodel into XML Schema

In this paper, we propose an approach to transform models derived by applying the Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations (DEMO) into an exchangeable format. DEMO is based on a founded theory, the psi-theory, and satisfies the requirements to be a well defined domain modeling methodology. Having the DEMO models represented in an exchangeable format is beneficial for different types of applications supporting the information system development process. Applications used for the automatic analysis (simulation) of the DEMO models or for the identification of business components are just two examples to be mentioned.
