Imran,
Ecore, much like XML Schema and UML, is used to define the structure
(abstract syntax) of a model. So you'd use it to define what types of
things you will be editing, i.e., your domain model, and using EMF, you
would use that description to generate a Java realization of that model.
On top of this basis, GMF defines models, using also Ecore, for
representing information about how your domain model will ultimately be
mapped on to the graphical editing surface. Models, models everywhere
and they are all defined with Ecore. Probably it's worth while to read
this introduction:
