Kermeta is a Domain Specific Language dedicated to metamodel engineering. It fills the gap let by MOF which defines only the structure of meta-models, by adding a way to specify static semantic (similar to OCL) and dynamic semantic (using operational semantic in the operation of the metamodel). Kermeta uses the object-oriented paradigm like Java or Eiffel.

This document is an user-guide to create a DSL using the Kermeta language. This main document explain the different processes to rapidly achieve this goal. For a direct acces to the how-to and the examples, please refer to those presented in the FSM Tutorial and the Logo Tutorial. For the explanation of the concepts mentioned here, please refer to the Kermeta manual.
