The document I'm talking about is "The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) 
Overview". Maybe I missed something but I did not read anything about 
EMF being a meta-model. Reading this document, it looks more like EMF is 
a UML-like model with strong Java bindings...
But I will definitely read other documents. Any reading suggestion in 
particular, which will help me understand EMF's 'meta' nature?
