[Marcos Didonet Del Fabro <marcos.didonet-del-fabro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello,

you can define these mappings using weaving models. The weaving models can be manually 
created using the AMW tool. The tool provides a set of functionalities (drag-and-drop, or 
menus) to create mappings between different models.

Another solution is to use the EMF API to implement your own methods. Part of this API 
provides a set of methods to manipulate metamodels conforming to Ecore. You can find more 
documentation in the EMF web site: www.eclipse.org/emf.
