The OMG has a request for proposals (rfp) on QVT (Queries Views and
Transformations) right now - its main purpose is to standardize on a
transformation language that will allow us to define transformations
between (meta-) models. If you look into some of the proposals you will
see that some of them already have tools (as proof of concept as well as
comercial) that allow you to do what you want!

Subject: [mdr-dev] Transformations between models


 Hi Martin ,
 Is there a way to convert an UML meta-model to a different meta-model
that
I wrote?  (My meta-model is an extension of the UML one)
 I'd like to define some transformation rules that are read (and
applied)
by a transformation engine.
 I'm looking for tools, libraries or languages that do this. Do they
exist?
 I tried using XSLT stylesheets for my transformations, but it turns out
that doing complex operations this way is very hard

 Regards
 Gabriele
