Description
Summary:Similar to general-purpose languages, domain-specific languages (DSL) can be developed based on grammar formalisms, the model-driven engineering (MDE) is also becoming more and more important for the development of DSLs. On the one hand, metamodels can be used to define the syntax and semantics of DSLs. On the other hand, a DSL can be realized by adapting the Unified Modeling Language (UML) via the profiling mechanism, i.e., by defining a UML profile. For example, metamodels for a DSL can be created with the language concepts provided by the Meta Object Facility (MOF), distinguishing between the Essential MOF (EMOF) and the Complete MOF (CMOF). The latter variant is based on the EMOF but provides additional language concepts. A higher degree of abstraction and reuse of existing metamodels can be achieved by employing the language concepts provided by CMOF, which can be advantageous for the creation of more complex DSLs.
