 							 		A metamodel is a model that defines the concepts and relationships that may be created in a model.
 									A model always conforms to a metamodel. This relation is called conformance. The conformance relation has a different nature than the representation relation
 									between a model and its system. A metamodel does not represent a model (that could be considered a system), but only the concepts and relationships that may be
 									created. A metamodel conforms to a metametamodel.

 					 	<p align="justify">
 					 		The metamodel will be generated from its description done via a UML 2 Class Diagram produced with Papyrus (an open-source graphical modeler tool for UML2 and based on Eclipse).
 							UML 2 Class Diagrams are the mainstay of object-oriented analysis and design. They show the classes of the system, their interrelationships (including
 							inheritance, aggregation, and association), and the operations and attributes of the classes. Class diagrams are used for a wide variety of purposes, including both
 							conceptual/domain modeling and detailed design modeling. The figure below presents an example of UML Class Diagram made with Papyrus.

 									<b>EMF XMI 2.0, conforming to Ecore</b>: Ecore is the metametamodel used by EMF. The <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/">EMF</a> project is a modeling
 									framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model.

 								<li>
 									<b>MDR XMI 1.2, conforming to MOF 1.4</b>: <a href="http://www.omg.org/mof/">MOF (Meta Object Facility)</a> is an OMG standard enabling to describe metamodels through common semantics.
