Core - The contextual Role Editor

In my diploma thesis I dealt with the topic of describing role-oriented software models in terms of Formal Concept Analysis.

I've published some papers on this topic and eventually developed a little tool that shall assist the development process.
I called it Core, as an abbreviation for Contextual Role Editor.

Core can be downloaded from here. If you already have the Eclipse Modeling Tools installed, it might be sufficient to download the basic release. See the included manual for a quick introduction on how to get started. Up to now it works best with Eclipse Galileo (i. e. Eclipse 3.5.*).

As a starting example, you might want to use the following files:

• steimann.rd
• steimann_base.cex
• steimann_role.cex

If you have questions, remarks or want to report some bugs, drop me a mail.

If you want to extend or customize the role model editor of Core, you can find the sources here. Simply import the folders into Eclipse. Note, that you need GMF installed, which is guaranteed, if you have the Eclipse Modeling Tools installed. Check the manual for some elementary troubleshooting.
