Abstract
Domain-specific modelling has moved the focus of model content from the implementation domain to the problem domain. However, much research still sees most modellers as programmers – a tacit assumption that is exemplified by the use of IDEs as modelling environments. Model-Driven Engineering research should instead be reaching out to make itself presentable to subject matter experts – as language creators, users, and research subjects. Every leap in developer numbers has been triggered by a new format, and we need another such leap now. Domain-specific modelling is ideally placed to step up and enable the creation of applications by people of all backgrounds.
