When I generate an ecore metamodel from a km3 file, the ecore model still
lacks a nsURI and a nsPrefix for all packages.
Also, in the PrimitiveTypes package, you have to assign Instance Type
Names for each primitive to avoid NullpointerExceptions when I generate
an EMF model from it.

Apparently all of this has to be done manually every time you import a
metamodel from km3.
This was pretty nasty at the beginning since this problem isn't
mentioned anywhere in tutorials.

Besides that, it seems that I have now solved my problem.
I didn't use the library-book-writer tutorial but a family2persons ATL
tutorial to get into it.
That tutorial gave me a bit of a false impression about what the words
container or contained meant. In retrospect, I guess I should have known.
You didn't answer my question directly, but I paid more attention to
that detail.

Thank you for your help.
