Hi folks,
I believe I posted this query earlier as well but didn't really receive a
response, so here it is again:
Is there any work being done on algorithms for creating an object model
based on a grammar? To give a simple example to illustrate what I mean,
consider the following rules.
name:
addressbook-style-name / western-style-name / eastern-style-name
addressbook-style-name:
last-name comma whitespace first-name
western-name:
first-name whitespace last-name
eastern-style-name:
last-name whitespace first-name
last-name:
[a-zA-Z]
first-name:
[a-zA-Z]
comma:
[,]
whitespace:
# list of whitespace characters here
An object model (in C#) corresponding to the above rules could be:
public class Name
{
}
public class AddressBookStyleName : Name
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string ToString()
{
return LastName + ", " + FirstName;
}
}
public class WesternStyleName : Name
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string ToString()
{
return FirstName + " " + LastName;
}
}
public class EasternStyleName : Name
{
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string ToString()
{
return LastName + " " + FirstName;
}
}
Therefore, the algorithm should take in a set of rules and put out a class
structure to represent the semantic structure of those rules.
Looking forward to a response (comments, criticisms welcome).

Umar Farooq Khawaja.
