Hi Florian,
A MOF metamodel would be very appropriate and there are folks at
OMG who are asking that this be included -- so your work in this
regard, which could, in turn, improve the language overall
depending on your findings, would be very useful. For the
specification, the metamodel will need to be UML/MOF 2.4.1
compliant at the end of the day. I'd be happy to review it with
you once you're ready.
Best,
Elisa

Dear all,
Following is a reply to a conversation I initiated with Till and that he asked me to share.
Eclipse in its "Eclipse Modeling Tools" packaging flavor provides an open-source XMI, MOF and UML tree editor (http://eclipse.org/downloads/).
The MOF metamodel I mailed doesn't contain a diagrammatic representation.
Should you want to have a UML diagrammatic representation of the DOL metamodel, you may use Papyrus which is Eclipse's open-source UML editor (http://eclipse.org/papyrus/).
Until I manually make the entire metamodel, it is hard to tell the differences.
But, as far as I saw, the 'IRI' definition (in the MOF metamodel) seems clumsy. The definition of 'OntoLangTrans' seems (in the MOF metamodel) awkward too. A manually created metamodel would probably package metaclasses for 'Distributed OMSs', 'Heterogeneous OMSs' and 'OMS Mappings' in different packages.
Basically, the generated MOF metamodel is too much "textual language tainted".
The point of my mail is to ask if you think a MOF metamodel of DOL's abstract syntax would be of any added value (probably as informative annex).
The draft I mailed aims at giving an idea of what a naïve metamodel would look like.
When you reach a stable version and if you think a MOF definition of DOL's abstract syntax is of interest, I may take time to propose a non-naive MOF metamodel.
Best regards.

Dear Florian,
many thanks!
Could you advise a tool for viewing the XMI? For example, a UML tool like modelio?
Can you forward this to the OntoIOp open discussion list <ontoiop-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>?
What would be the difference to a manually created version?
All the best,
Till

Dear Till,
Regarding the ongoing work on OntoIOp, in order to ease the definition of MOF-based OMS languages to be conformant with DOL, a MOF definition of DOL abstract syntax might be useful.
I generated a naïve MOF (and therefore SMOF) definition of DOL abstract syntax from the EBNF grammar defined in Clause 8 of the current draft. The result is attached to this mail.
It is naïve because I didn't reformatted the generated metamodel. Also, I say it is naïve because if I had to define the MOF metamodel for DOL manually, I would have produced something different.
This is just a draft I generated with Eclipse tooling for discussion purpose only.
Best regards.
