MDK : Model Development Kit

Document Actions

Using Kermeta and related tools like Sintaks, you can create various tools. In order to organize them, to deploy them, we use the notion of MDK (Model Development Kit).

The design of each MDK is attached to a domain metamodel and provides various services like : simulators, compilers, transformations, analyser, tree editors, graphical editors, textual editors, ...

New : find out the tips for finding the documentation of a given MDK !

The team provides various MDK that you can reuse or extend for your own needs.

Here is a list of them and what they propose.

The fields should help you to know what is the status and goal for them.
