The MOF 2.0 Q/V/T (Queries, Views and Transformations) OMG standard defines a set of inter-related languages for expressing model-to-model transformations. * QVT-Relation is a declarative language based on patterns upon models ; * QVT-Operational is an hybrid language with a rich declarative rule structure and an imperative execution flow ; * QVT-Core defines the semantics of declarative concepts. SmartQVT is an open source implementation of the QVT-Operational language. The tool is provided as an Eclipse plugging running on top of the EMF metamodelling framework and is licensed under EPL. The SmartQVT architecture is based on the principle of separation between concrete syntax and abstract syntax (e.g. the QVT metamodel) which is reflected by the implementation of two separated components: * a parser converting the text into its metamodel-based representation * and a compiler translating the metamodel-based representation into code. This allows potentially to re-use the parser when implementing QVT on top of other environments and target languages as well as gives the possibility to apply the compiler to an input produced by another tool. Moreover, second order transformation can also be developed using the QVT metamodel as an input or output of a QVT transformation.
