ModX

Draft

Definition

ModX is a graphic tool used to create both model and MOF-based metamodel. It supports XMI format (import/export) in order to be compatible with other Model driven architecture (MDA) tools.

When should you use ModX?

• When you want to graphically define models and there is no graphical editor for the underlying metamodel
• When you have to design a new metamodel or to improve an existing one
• When you want to manipulate models and to remain compliant with MDA standards (MOF, XMI, UML)
• When you have to grasp and to master a complex metamodel provided in XMI format by experimenting with it
