scope:

The present document summarizes technical aspects related to the implementation of TDL within the TDL Open Source Project (TOP). It describes the implementation details needed for the further development and integration of the tools. It also provides usage instructions for end users.

The following tools and components are covered in the present document:

• implementation of the TDL meta-model;

• editor for the graphical representation format of TDL;

• editor for the textual representation format of TDL;

• multiple other types of TDL model editors;

• facilities for checking the semantic validity of models according to the constraints specified in the TDL meta-model;

• implementation and tool-support for the mapping TDL elements to TTCN-3 code;

• implementation and tool-support for the importing of data definitions from OpenAPI™ and ASN.1 specifications;

• implementation and tool-support for execution of TDL models;

• implementation of the UML profile for TDL; and

• editor supporting the creation and manipulation of UML models applying the UML profile for TDL.

NOTE: The implementation of the UML profile for TDL and the corresponding editor descriptions are not aligned with the referenced versions of the TDL specification parts, but are related to an earlier release of the TDL specification parts.
