Recently, Model Driven Engineering (MDE) has
been proposed for supporting the development, maintenance and
evolution of software systems. Model Driven Architecture (MDA),
Software Factories and Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) are
representative MDE approaches. These MDE approaches have
some concepts and techniques in common such as modeling,
metamodels and model transformation. However, other concepts
and techniques should be envisaged such as metamodel matching.
In this paper, we discuss some issues and provide some insights
into metamodel matching. For this purpose, we use UML and
the C# platform to illustrate our approach and to evaluate our
Mapping Tool for MDE (MT4MDE) and Semi-Automatic Matching
Tool for MDE (SAMT4MDE). Afterwards, comparisons with
other tools are presented.
