Project Number

1.32.22.01.00.00

The title of the project will be changed following a resolution of ballot comments and response to

WG1 resolution at this meeting

•Framework for the registration of metamodels for metadata as re-useable objects

•Framework of metamodel for registering reusable objects

Other alternatives:

•Framework for the registration of metamodels to share objects

A Solution to Improve the share-ability of Business Semantics or Objects

• Establish Meta-Metamodel standards to enable ;– Consistent developments of each domain Metamodels

• Ontology• Modeling Constructs (i.e. Data, Codes, Object Patterns, Profiles)

– Registering each Metamodel – Mapping between different Metamodels

Registry Federation with Metamodel Framework

SC32 Seoul 02050619

Closer Look at Metamodel Framework

• Model: A set of related objects to represent a concept• Metamodel: Model which describes other model• Meta-Metamodel: Model which describes Metamodels

Describe What ??

SC32 Seoul 02050620

“Describe” in Meta Hierarchy

• Type & Instance ?• Format / Templates?• Register ?• Just Information ?

We need a common view to the Meta Hierarchy !

SC32 Seoul 02050621

Metamodel FrameworkA minimal set of well designed Meta-Metamodels which describes Metamodels in order to obtain the efficient and consistent exchanging of both Metamodel and domain specific models which were described each Metamodels.

Issues for the Project

SC32 Seoul 02050631

Out of our Concerns

• Modeling Facilities Transformation• Ontology Contents • Ontology Transformation• Contents of Modeling Constructs• Development of Domain models

SC32 Seoul 02050632

Issues for the Project

• MOF/XMI PAS proceeding• MOF Extensions with OMG MOF2.0 project• Defining an overall structure of the Framework and

the core.• Provide bases for Specifying each metamodel• Linkage to Business Transaction Semantics• Give incentives to other group to register their

metamodels

SC32 Seoul 02050633

Standardization Issues for Core Framework

• Define Meta-metamodel Extending MOF (collaborative works with OMG MOF2.0 projects )

• Prepare Normative Ontology and Terminology to be used in defining metamodels

• Prepare Normative Constructs to be used in defining metamodels

• Define minimum Initial contents for each Metamodels

• Define Registration Procedures

MOF/XMI PAS Submission from OMG

•It was discussed at the Helsinki Meeting (Nov. 2001) that should we invite MOF/XMI to SC32 or not.•Due to an unexpected accident at OMG, the process has been not active. •However, OMG has reinitiated the task and committed to submit PAS to JTC1 by the end of August.
