MoDisco/New And Noteworthy

MoDisco 0.8 (Helios version)

Infrastructure

• Model Browser

The new version provides :

• • A new look&feel

* The possibility to dynamically customize how the model elements are displayed (label, color, icon, police, ...)
* The support of the Facet extension mechanism (the virtual types, attributes and relations are visible within the browser).
* The possibility to execute queries against model elements 

• Discovery Manager
• Discovery Workflow
• Query Manager

This new component provides a facade to evaluate queries against a model independently from the query mechanism. Implementations are provided to call queries written in Java, EMFQuery, OCL and XPath.

• Facet Manager.

This new component provides a mechanism to dynamically extend model elements by adding "virtual" attributes and relations computed by queries.
