The document discusses using Graphiti to create modeler tools. It provides an agenda that includes an introduction to Graphiti, a business scenario demo, architecture discussion, code snippets, and resources. Key concepts covered include EMF, domain models, pictogram models, pictorial elements, defining providers for diagrams, tools, features and drawing pictorial elements from domain objects. The presenter demonstrates preparing domain data, defining various Graphiti providers and drawing club logos by accessing images from an image provider.
