Abstract
In this chapter, we look at formal ways of addressing situational method engineering, method parts (fragments, chunks, components, etc.) and method construction. In Sect. 4.1 we discuss various metamodelling approaches at a variety of scales, from full method to single fragment descriptions. Section 4.2 is a brief discussion on ontologies and the use proposed for these in SME. In Sect. 4.3, in contrast to the static models of Sect. 4.1, we outline several formal descriptions of ways of constructing methods, while in Sect. 4.4 we comment on a few other formal approaches.
