Constraint definitions tend to be distributed across the components of an information system using a variety of technology-specific representations. We propose an approach where constraints are managed in a single place using OCL with extensions for technology-specific concepts. These constraints are then mapped to technology-specific representations which are validated at runtime. Bi-directional translations of constraint definitions allows existing components to be easily integrated into the system. We present an implementation of the approach and report on a user study with developers from industry and research.Read the full paper here: https://link-springer-com.proxy2.hec.ca/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-46397-1_17
