Facilitating the definition of general constraints in UML (extended version)

One important aspect in the specification of conceptual schemas is the definition of general constraints that cannot be expressed by the predefined constructs provided by conceptual modeling languages. In general this is done by means of general-purpose languages, like OCL. In this paper we propose...
