Greetings.
[Forgive me if this is the wrong group; where ought I to be?]
I've been pointed towards oAW, and its transformation support, by an
enthusiastic, but geographically distant, colleague.

Hello,
Xtend, as part of oAW, is hosted by the GMT project. You would therefore
probably get more answers about it if you asked Xtend-related questions
in the GMT newsgroup. Please prefix the subject of your posts there on
Xtend with [oAW].
I am only answering the ATL-related part of your question here. This is
why I added the [ATL] prefix in the subject.
There are already two OWL-related ATL use cases that you might want to
consider:
http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/usecases/ODMImplementation/
http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/usecases/SharingRulesBetweenO CLUML_SWRLOWL/
As for running ATL from the command line, there is usually no problem
doing so. The following Howto gives information related to using ATL
from the command-line:

Frédéric Jouault
