Hi All,

I would like to get some input on this issue. 


I do not want to risk getting into any technology that limits the
overall viability of MLHIM (therefore OSHIPxx) But of course for real
world use, at some point choices must be made. 

As you all know, Marcos has taken the original schemas that I provided
and created an EMF model.  (My use of terms/words here may not be
precise as I study EMF). 

My little bit of research so far tells me that yes, we can generate XML
Schemas from the EMF model.  Now every implementation language has
binding capability to XML Schema.  So the reference model
implementations in each language should be fairly straight forward.  

While the Eclipse EMF tools are more popular in Java land than other
places.  The ability to work with XML Schemas seems to bridge any of
those issues with Python, Ruby, Lua, etc. 

For management of something as complex and varied as MLHIM is; I believe
it is key to have a central starting point.  

The question I have for all of you.  Does, Eclipse EMF appear to be a
valid foundation for us to do the formal modeling in.  Then creating XML
Schemas as the "reference implementation" that everyone else can work
from? 

Thanks,
Tim
