David S. Frankel (born 1950) is an American Information Technology expert and consultant, known for his work on model-driven engineering ^{[1] [2]} and semantic information modeling. ^{[3] [4]}

Biography

Frankel obtained his BS in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and sequentially his Master of Social Work at the same university.

Frankel started his career in the software industry in the 1970s, developing software tools for HP 2100 mini-computers. He became a senior Programmer-Analyst. In 1982 he became an independent consultant, participating in the development of LAN-based database applications. He was Enterprise Architect for several companies, and Lead Standards Architect in the domain of Model-Driven Systems at SAP Labs in California from 2005 to 2012, and independent consultant ever since.

Frankel has been on the Architecture Board of the Object Management Group (OMG) for a long time. ^[5] In 2003 he published his most cited work "Model Driven Architecture: Applying Mda to Enterprise Computing."
