Abstract

In this paper, the authors introduce a novel approach to data metamodel conceptualization called Conceptual Layer of Metamodels. This conceptualization method gives an common conceptual layer based on Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules for expressing data metamodels built using different categories and having other characteristics but representing similar semantics. This paper describes abstraction and concretization dependency and covers the metamodeling layer and core modeling concepts layers.
