Towards Distributed Ecore Models

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.
