Abstract
In this paper, we suggest a solution to several limitations of current metaCASE technology: (i) the limited number of modelling levels, (ii) the rigid separation between those levels, (iii) the limited boot-strapping possibilities, (iv) the hardcoding of various types of information (e.g. GUI related information), and (v) the inability to record links between semantically related (e.g. referrentially redundant) constructs. Our proposal is centered around a 2-layer metamodelling language called MetaL. MetaL is characterised by ubiquitous reflexivity (meta-circularity) and extended reification capabilities. The language is presented and applied to illustrative examples. Its pros and cons are discussed and an on-going prototypical metaCASE implementation is reported. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
