====== EMF as a model description language ======

As described below, the model used by the Visual Editor Project is
based on its own language and widget-set neutral metadata format. As
it turns out, this model itself is described using Eclipse's own EMF framework.

Advantages to doing it this way include:

    * EMF is language and widget-set neutral.
    * It is easy to reflect the metadata provided by the Java
      Development Tooling as an EMF model.

Questions I currently have about this:

    * What are the parts of the model?
    * What are the sources/sinks of information in this model?
    * How does one actually work with information in this model?

In future entries, I intend to explore these and other topics
relevent to VEP programming.
