Model Transformations with Reference Models

In this paper we introduce and explore an extension to the existing paradigm of model transformation. Specifically, we extend existing model transformation approaches by considering reference models and human input as important sources for and during model transformation. To cater for this new type of model transformation, we develop an approach grounded on a common generic model and a series of transformation operators, which constitute an non-trivial extension to the “classical” model management operators.
