MDM system. Thanks to the semantic approach, the
administration functions brought by MDM are delivered
automatically to business users while limiting the hard-

the following chapter.

6. The screen presented in this example is generated by a Model-driven
MDM EBX platform from Orchestra Networks. The ergonomics retained is
that of a list of check boxes; it is also possible to drive the generation of the
screen in order to obtain other ergonomic representations, for example, as
a list box.
