Gerd,
I just discovered the OMG PRR
specification (http://www.omg.org/docs/dtc/07-11-04.pdf),
which is in its finalization phase… Could this be the specification to which
your proposal would conform? There would seem to be some natural synergies
between this and the recently proposed SBVR component (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-SBVR-Proposal)… and perhaps the existing EODM component as well?
Cheers,

Gerd,
Yes, the scope of MDT is limited to
“industry standard” (but not necessarily OMG) metamodels. If there
are concrete plans for your metamodel to be submitted as a response to an OMG
RFP (i.e. it will eventually become a specification), then that may well work
(it won’t be a whole lot different from what we’re doing with the
recently approved IMM component)… but we should discuss this in more
detail when we chat. What day/time would be good for you?
Cheers,

Kenn,
thanks for your
message.
I'd be happy to
participate in the call and present our rule modeling proposal.
For clarifying if the
proposal fits the scope and rules of MDT I'd like to ask if it is a strict
requirement for a MDT modeling tool to be based on an OMG recommended
metamodel?
We plan to intitiate
an OMG RFP for rule modeling, but currently the metamodel we'd like
to contribute is not (yet) an OMG standard.
Best,
Gerd

Gerd,
I am the lead of the MDT sub-project of
Modeling; thanks for your interest in contributing to the project!
Typically, when proposing new components
within Modeling (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Modeling_Project_Releng/Component_Creation#Proposal
for an overview of the current process), the first step is to present the proposal
at the Modeling PMC meeting, which takes place on the third Tuesday of each
month at 10:00 am EST. I’d be happy to add your proposal to the agenda
for February 19 if you think you will be able to participate in the call. In
the meantime, it would probably make sense for the two of us to discuss your
proposed contribution in more detail to ensure that it fits within the scope of
MDT.
Cheers,

Mr. Wagner,
Have you discussed this new project with the Modeling PMC? The reason I
ask is that at Eclipse there are ten top-level projects, each of which covers a
particular technical area. The Modeling Top-Level Project is, obviously, about
modeling. The Modeling PMC (Project Management Committee) runs the Modeling
Top-Level Project, and thus would be the obvious first place to start when
wanting to start a new project in the modeling area.
I have cc'd their public mailing list on this reply.

Subject: new project proposal
Dear EMO,
I'd like to propose a new project as a subproject of
the Eclipse Model Development Tools (MDT) project.
The project would develop a UML-based rule modeling tool
based on a metamodel that we have developed in a EU research
project (REWERSE) and which you can find here:
http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/strelka/URML-Metamodel.htm
The basic idea is to visually model derivation rules and
production rules in connection with their underlying
vocabulary expressed by a UML class diagram. Notice that
UML allows to express derivation rules textually in the form
of OCL derive expressions. But these expressions are not
visually connected to the model elements they refer to.
For production rules, as far as we know, there is no
support for UML-based modeling. The OMG has a new standard,
called PRR, which defines a metamodel for production
rules, with which we tried to be compatible.
We have developed a prototype of such a tool, called Strelka:
http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=node/46
We'd like to contribute the metamodel and the tool prototype
to the new project.
Please let me know, if this is a suitable proposal for an
Eclipse project.
Best regards,
Gerd Wagner
