Abstract
Metamodels are playing an increasingly important role in the specification of distributed object and component architectures, such as CORBA, CORBA Component Model, Enterprise JavaBeans and DCOM/COM+. By recursively abstracting the details associated with implementation, metamodels improve rigor and facilitate system integration and interoperability. The uses of metamodels range from specifying modeling languages and metadata repositories to defining data interchange formats and software processes (methods).
