Hi Gabriele,
currently the easiest way to do the transformation is to specify it in 
Java :) as I did in UML2MOF tool. Jasper is right that MOF2QVT will 
provide the standard language for transformations. We are a co-submitter 
to the RFP for this standard together with Compuware, who already have a 
prototype of the transformation engine based on the language defined in 
our submission, but I do not know if and when they are going to release 
it to public.
