Model transformation languages have been mainly used by researchers - the software engineering industry has not yet widely accepted the model driven software development (MDSD). One of the main reasons is the complexity of metamodelling principles the developers are required to know to actually use model transformations in the way the OMG has stated. We offer the basic principles how to create domain-specific model transformation languages which can be used by developers relying only on familiar modelling concepts. We propose to use simple graphical mappings to specify the correspondence between source and target models which are represented using trees based on the concrete syntax of underlying modelling languages. If such principles were followed, then the range of potential users of model transformation languages would increase significantly. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
