Model Interchange Between MetaEdit+ and EMF Department of Computer Science MetaEdit+ Business Information Systems • Tool for Domain-Specific M d li Modeling • Definition of DSLs and modeling • Different views (diagram, table, matrix) • Code generator C d t • Extensive model repository p y • Commercial product, MetaCase The 8th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling 3

Model Interchange Between MetaEdit+ and EMF Department of Computer Science Eclipse EMF Business Information Systems Ecore XML Java UML XMI Schema • Java framework for b ildi building (Eclipse) (E li ) applications based on models • Many tools can operate on EMF metamodels and models: ATL oAW models: ATL, oAW, Epsilon, EMFT • Tool infrastructure for Model-Driven Engineering M d l D i E i i • Similar to the Meta Object Facility (MOF) y ( ) • Open source The 8th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling 4

Model Interchange Between MetaEdit+ and EMF Department of Computer Science Motivation Business Information Systems MetaEdit-EMF-Bridge • Combines the advantages of both tool spaces  MetaEdit is suitable for DSM MetaEdit is suitable for DSM  Eclipse EMF is suitable for model processing • MetaEdit models can be processed by EMF tools and p y vice versa • Tool chains and re-use of (meta)models, model operations ti The 8th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling 5
