Mike,

It will be great if TPTP can use BIRT components for its reporting and
charting needs.

Yes, we are considering EMF as the modeling framework for the charting
project.

As for the reporting template, I suspect we will start with defining XML
schema for report designs. We would like to make the XML file format concise
and easy to read by the people who write reports and design tools that write
reports. An XMI based design file format probably is too verbose for a human
being to read. I think we can look into using EMF to generate the Java
classes.
We will study the proposed behavioral model in Hyades to see if we can use
it for report generation.
