Re: Transformations between models

Hi Martin,
Do you think it's possible to have a contact with someone of your team or
compuware team (Email address) that is implementing that prototype ?
If it's interesting for you, we could be a good beta tester.
Is there an available mdl file that describes your trasformation metamodel
? Are there other documents we could check further the OMG submission one ?
I'm studing the interactive Objects submission metamodel and there are some
issues I didn't get yet. Should be usefull for us investigate more in your
vision.
Thanks a lot

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.
