Abstract:
Models are the cornerstone of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). Their size is constantly growing, becoming
one of the main problems when it comes to manipulating them, via model-to-model transformations, model-to-
text transformations or simply parsing them. In this paper we propose a way of distributing Ecore models
representing them as JSON and URLs as identifiers, since HTTP is one of the most successful distributed
protocols ever created. An implementation of distributed Ecore models using a RESTful-like service is also
presented and and is publicly available.
