Abstract
Meta modeling is an effective approach to implement interoperability among many distributed and heterogeneous information sources. A MMF (Meta Model Framework) is a set of Meta objects and Meta modeling constructs to be used in the development a metamodel in the actual implementation of a registry. This paper proposes a common repository model based on MMF to ensure interoperability among heterogeneous software components repositories on the Web. The model will depict what aspects of model elements and constructs we will meet in metamodeling of software components repository. WHCRP (WuHan Component Repository Platform), a prototype system implemented based on MMF, is introduced in the paper.
