Eclipse Doc2Model project has been created
The new Eclipse Doc2Model project has now been created. The goal of this project is to provide an extensible framework for producing EMF models from plain text and structured documents (e.g. OpenOffice documents).
The idea is to take textual documents containing the specification of the system and, instead of retyping information to produce the corresponding model, try to (partially) generate the corresponding system model by parsing and analyzing the text.
The input of the tool is the textual document plus a configuration model describing how to identify and interpret the relevant data in the document. Matching rules in the configuration document make use of regular expressions, special styles, columns (spreadsheet), and tags.
Applying the matching rules on the input document generates the EMF model.
The initial codebase of the project can be found here . A first flash demo can be downloaded from here .
Obviously, the goal of the project is very ambitious so now we need to wait and see how it evolves and what they really manage to accomplish
