Preface
Many modeling languages, such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML), advocate the
use of graphical notations for modeling. While such visual representations provide a intu-
itive way of modeling and, usually, allow for describing high-level concepts very nicely, the
visual representations are often not suited for describing systems in a precise and unam-
biguous way: either the visual representations lacks the necessary constructs completely
or the visual representations, including all formal details, gets overpopulated.
    The challenges of providing both a graphical notation that allows the intuitive modeling
of the overall system while still being able to express system properties in a precisely
and unambiguously motivated the development of textual specification languages that
integrate, extend, or even replace graphical notations. Typical examples of such languages
are OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots
in formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases.
    The goal of this workshop was to create a forum where researchers and practitioners
interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages could directly
interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and dis-
cuss appropriate standards. The close interaction enabled researchers and practitioners to
identify common interests and options for potential cooperation.
    Every accepted paper was reviewed by at least three members of the program com-
mittee. In addition, these proceedings contain one unreviewed paper that contain the
suammries of the lightning talks. For this paper, each presenter of a lightning talk con-
tributed one section.
