Abstract
The diagram has a intuition and simplicity So, it is widely used in various fields in current computing environment. But, because of the absence of a standard diagram specification method, we have difficulty in exchanging the diagram data between different diagram software and besides, we spend much money and time to code diagram component, rules and semantics to which diagram would be applied. So We propose a method for defining diagram component's shapes and actions, diagram's rules and semantics using XML. And We design and implement the diagram system which execute XML document specifying diagram. In the diagram system, We can define diagram component in WISWIG manner and generate DML document automatically. So We can develop diagram system more efficiently. And by defining diagram rules using DTD, we also achieve the consistency of DTD meaning. And We propose Semantic Definition XML for specifying diagram semantics. So, diagram sentence which drawn by users could be given semantics and executed in diagram system. In this thesis, many VPL(Visual Programming Language) concepts were adopted to implement diagram system environment.
