Meta-modelling tools are an important pre-requisite for the utilisation of domain specific languages. They allow for the tool-supported definition of modelling languages and can be used to generate specific editors for the application of a language. However, due to the variety of tools on the market and their inherent complexity, it is a difficult task to select a tool which best suits a set of given requirements. In this paper we suggest a framework which comprises a set of criteria for the evaluation of meta-modelling tools. The framework can be used to assist the tool selection process and hence help to minimise the risk of choosing an inadequate tool for a given application scenario.
Keywords:
meta-modelling, meta-modelling tools, tool evaluation, domain specific languages.
