A '''model transformation language''' in [[systems engineering|systems]] and [[software engineering]] is a language intended specifically for [[model transformation]].
==
The notion of [[model transformation]] is central to [[Model-driven_engineering|model-driven development]]. A model transformation, which is essentially a program which operates on models, can be written in a general-purpose programming language, such as [[Java (programming language)|Java]]. However, special-purpose model transformation languages can offer advantages, such as syntax that makes it easy to refer to model elements. For writing bidirectional model transformations, which maintain consistency between two or more models, a specialist bidirectional model transformation language is particularly important, because it can help avoid the duplication that would result from writing each direction of the transformation separately.
Currently, most model transformation languages are being developed in academia. The [[Object_Management_Group|OMG]] has standardised a family of model transformation languages called [[QVT]], but the field is still immature.<ref name="FranceRumpe"/>
