GenEd - An Editor with Generic Semantics for Formal Reasoning about Visual Notations
by Volker Haarslev and Michael Wessel
Note: these pages are ancient (from 1996). I mainly added them to have some tests and complex content for my Common Lisp-based "Content Management System".

Description
GenEd is an object-oriented editor supporting the design of specifications for visual notations. Prominent features of GenEd are (1) it is generic , i.e. domain-specific syntax and semantics are specified by users; (2) built-in parser for actual drawings, driven by formal specifications; (3) powerful reasoning capabilities about diagrams and their specification. GenEd's specification language is based on a fully formalized theory for describing visual notations. Three examples, place-transition petri nets, entity-relationship diagrams, and a small GIS application are presented.
