6.2 Architectural Alignment and MDA Support

   Chapter 7, “Language Architecture?, explains how the UML 2.0: Infrastructure is architecturally aligned with the UML

   2.0: Superstructure that complements it. It also explains how the InfrastructureLibrary defined in the UML 2.0: Infrastructure can be strictly reused by MOF 2.0 specifications.

   The MOF 2.0: Core Specification is architecturally aligned with this specification.

   The OMG’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative is an evolving conceptual architecture for a set of industry-wide technology specifications that will support a model-driven approach to software development. Although MDA is not itself a technology specification, it represents an important approach and a plan to achieve a cohesive set of model-driven technology specifications. This specification’s support for MDA is discussed in Appendix B.
