Abstract
In this paper a novel approach for the tool–based quality assurance of models is presented. The approach provides a meta model framework for domain specific and tool–independent quality assessment in heterogeneous model landscapes. In our framework we provide the concepts of queries, checks and views defined on meta model level and interpreted over the whole model landscape. Queries, checks and views are described in a predicative language based on the structures of the meta model.
