The Classification Framework for Model Transformation

Abstract

Wide usage of model transformation in the Information Systems has resulted in a number of transformation approaches recently. In order to provide an insight into the existing transformation approaches, to draw out the practicability and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches a multidimensional classification is required. In this paper, a classification framework is proposed which provides a multidimensional, faceted and measure based viewpoint to give a clear and better insight into the existing model transformation approaches.
