A graph transformation-based semantics for deep metamodelling

Abstract:

Metamodelling is one of the pillars of model-driven engineering, used for language engineering and domain modelling. Even though metamodelling is traditionally based on a two-level approach, several researchers have pointed out limitations of this solution and proposed an alternative deep (also called multi-level) approach to obtain simpler system descriptions. However, deep metamodelling currently lacks a formalisation that can be used to explain fundamental concepts such as deep characterisation through potency and double linguistic/ontological typing. This paper provides different semantics for such fundamental concepts based on graph transformation and the Diagram Pbkp_redicate Framework. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
