New capabilities are great but people will not throw away existing investments

Need a solution that will add value to what people are using today

Value regardless of whether the platform is traditional or semantics-based


Model Driven Architecture MDA Distilled

MDA is an approach not a standard Coalesces best modeling practices with

a unifying model framework Code generation is not essential Advocates investment in models not

code

and managing All models and metamodels
