[news.eclipse.modeling.gmt.modisco] Re: KDM Compliance

[Mikaël Barbero <mikael.barbero@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Javier,

The "inspired by" means that MoDisco will not use the KDM metamodel as 
is but will be compatible with it. MoDisco aims at providing smallest 
metamodels (i.e. more specific to a modernization domain) rather than 
using KDM as a whole. The compatibility will be ensure by model 
transformations (in ATL and/or QVT: see http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/) 
targeting KDM.

Best regards,
Mikael
