Ideas for a concrete visual syntax for model-to-model transformations
Jorn Bettin · 2003
The recent OMG work on Queries, Views and Transformations (QVT) has led to five proposals that contain suggestions for notations for model-to-model transformations. This work is a valuable foundation, but the success of the MDA initiative and of QVT in particular will depend on the availability of a concrete syntax for model-to-model transformations that is able to express non-trivial transformations in a clear and compact format. This paper investigates model-to-model transformations from a user's perspective, i.e. it presents ideas for a concrete syntax that would be useful for industrial production of business software.
