[gme-users] GME meta-metamodel

[Matthew J. Emerson]

FYI, I updated the link on the GME contributions page so that it serves
the most current version of GME-MOF.

Here's a direct link:

Hi Matt-

  Thanks for writing about your MOF-based work. Please write to the
users list whenever you have updates - it would be good to track your
work.

  BTW: I just got dinged on a UML submission by a reviewer who was very
much a MOF-fan and wanted to know why it was not fully supported in GME.
I think the reviewer's comments were a bit too focused on MOF (the topic
of the paper had nothing to do with this), but it is good to be able to
head-off such comments by pointing out things that you identify below.

Thanks

Jeff

Hello Olivier.

Currently I'm working toward incorporating MOF v1.4 into GME.  There is
a link on the GME Contributions page on the ISIS website where my work
is available, but it seems that it hasn't been updated with my most
current work.  I'll send you all my most current stuff in a separate
email so that you can play with it.

I'll attempt to answer your question too, although others know better
than I.  I think that the adoption of GME's UML/OCL meta-metamodel
predates the adoption of MOF as the OMG's standard meta-metamodel.
Also, although MOF offers some advantages over our UML/OCL
meta-metamodel, it's also lacking some features that we feel are
important for defining domain-specific modeling languages, such as
stateful Associations, facilities for multi-aspect modeling, and a
standard way to specify the concrete syntax of models.

Hi !

I'm a french student and GME user. I'd like to know why GME's
meta-metamodel is
based on UML class diagram and FCOs. It could be based on MOF. The
papers and
overviews of GME don't explain this choice.
Sincerely, Olivier.
