RE: [m2m-dev] A home for QVT.mdl

Hi All

I have completed work correlating OMG's Rose, Ecore and EMOF models
and UMLX's Rose, Ecore and EMOF models.

The updated submission to QVT Declarative (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=234220)
and a new submission to QVTOML (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236128)
provide a consistent set of Rose, Ecore and EMOF models and HTML compliance statements
detailing the numerous (a couple of hundred) differences with respect to the different
OMG perspectives.

A set of 10 OMG issues have been raised detailing all the errors in the 07-07-08 QVT
Rose, EMOF and Ecore models.

In the absence of any -1's (or +1's), the updated QVT Declarative submission has an
org.eclipse.qvt/model containing the Rose model.

The variant Rose importer and the JUnit tests that do the correlation and generate the
Compliance.html's will be in a future tooling contribution to QVT Declarative (and QVT OML).

The models all now include the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=229998
support for unnavigable opposite role names.

Sub-EMOF/Ecore content types are defined for each model, so that the EMOF-based
to Ecore-based conversion just works; no need for my horrible modified ResourceSet
any more.

Definition of validation constraints is currently thin for QVTc and very thin
for QVTr; future work. Open Canarias may contribute the QVTo validation.

I won't be at the OMG/Eclipse symposium in Ottawa (no funding), so it would
be nice if someone could announce the availability of these consistent models
for me.

All the best to everyone attending.

	Regards
