Meta-process Modeling - Topics in Metadata Modeling

Topics in Metadata Modeling

There are different techniques for constructing process models. “Construction techniques used in the Information Systems area have developed independently of those in Software Engineering. In information systems, construction techniques exploit the notion of a meta-model and the two principal techniques used are those of instantiation and assembly. In software engineering the main construction technique used today is language-based. However, early techniques in both, information systems and software engineering were based on the experience of process engineers and were, therefore, ad-hoc in nature.”
