I use the ATL class ASMModel which is a superclass of ASMMDRModel and
ASMEMFModel. I implement a new subclass of it called
ConfigurationModel because the repository where the "configuration
model" of AndroMDA resides is AndroMDA itself with its Namespace,
Property and Mapping classes.

So, this has nothing to do with MDR or EMF Ecore at all. :-)

Sure. I'll keep posting to the list.

I have to check this constraint again. Maybe I can drop it.

Cool idea! I'll have a look at the resources you pointed me to and get
back when I've read them.

Thanks,
