We present a layered approach to defining a language for describing model transformations. This report is based on our case study of developing a significant model transformation for the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Modeler. Our main objective during the case study was to identify the requirements for a generic model transformation language and explore the alternative ways in which these can be satisfied. The transformation that we explore is part of the cycle-removal procedure for process models that conform to the Business Operations Metamodel (BOM).
