Integrating Dialog Modeling and Domain Modeling: The Case of Diamodl and the Eclipse Modeling Framework

For most applications, data-intensive applications in particular, dialog modeling makes little sense without a domain model. Since domain models usually are developed and used outside the dialog modeling activity, it is better to integrate dialog modeling languages with existing domain modeling languages and tools, than inventing your own. This paper describes how the Diamodl language, editor and runtime have been integrated with the Eclipse Modeling Framework.
