Hi!

I am a student who studies in Berlin. Now I gonna do one seminar about the meta modeling. My theme is "A Survey on Meta-Modeling Tools". My tutor ask me to compare the four tools of meta modeling which are MetaEdit+, Protege, NetBeans UML and Eclipse/EMF. Is there some who can tell me the difference between the UML, EMF，Protege and MetaEdit+, or give me some tips about that. Because I am not familiar with these tools.

Best regards,
Tong

EMF is a general framework with an implementation of the OMG's EMOF at
the core. It's used to help implement UML2. UML2 is specified by the
OMG using EMOF/CMOF. The others things aren't Eclipse things. You'll
have to learn about them elsewhere.
