One important move in [[Model Driven Engineering]] is the systematic use of [[Model Transformation Language]]s. The OMG has proposed a standard for this calld [[QVT]] for Queries/Views/Transformations. [[QVT]] is based on the [[Meta-Object Facility]] or MOF. Among many other [[Model Transformation Language]]s (MTLs), some examples of implementations of this standard are [[AndroMDA]], [[VIATRA]] or [[ATLAS Transformation Language|ATL]].

The recommended standard orthography is ''metamodeling''{{fact}} (see for example [http://www.metamodel.com/]) but the alternative ''meta-modeling'' is also used. However the current trend seems now to write "metamodel" and mot "meta-model", "metamodeling" and not "meta-modeling". This is consistent with classical usage like [[Metaphysics]], [[Metaprogramming]], [[Metacognition]], [[Metamathematics]], [[Metalogic]], [[Metalanguage]], etc.
