MOF 2.0, Metamodels, etc.
« on: September 01, 2015, 07:33:59 pm »
Hello,

I am learning metamodelling etc.

I can do profiles ok.

I am not interested in full MDG (yet), as I want astandards-based solution.

I can create and store metamodels,

but how can I use my metamodels?
If I put a class into a metamodel, should it somehow become a metaclass? Can I then attach a stereotype to it?

I am using version 11, and metamodel only saves in MOF 1.4 format. Does EA support MOF 2.0?
In which version?
Do I need Version 12?  ( I hope not, as my client uses Version 11).

MOF 2.0 seems to be able to repeat levels at the M2 level, but I can't seem to get that to work.

metaclass is available as a stereotype, and I can create a class in a metamodel, and give it <<metaclass>>. This allows me to link a stereotype to it via extension,
but the stereotype doesn't work.

Fundamentally,
How can I use a metamodel to get at the classes I create in there?
(presumably as stereotypes). There is lots of info about creating them in EA guide, but not how to use them. :-?

I guess you should read about MDG. I have a short writeup here: http://community.sparxsystems.com/tutorials/552-24intro-to-creating-a-mdg-file
