Indeed, the MOF 2.0 package InfrastructureLibrary.Core.PrimitiveTypes whether contains Double nor Float. In fact, this is not necessary as long MOF 2.0 is used for a theoretical description of modelling languages on an informational level. But, since the MOFLON approach aims to support the application of MOF 2.0 in real world scenarios based on generated code the application of floating point datatypes becomes necessary in some cases (e.g. DiaMeta). Thus, we decided not to keep away those people from the advantages of MOFLON and added this feature in contrast to the standard.
