Describes the following: a. An abstract language for specifying, constructing, and managing technology neutral metamodels: A metamodel is in effect an abstract language for some kind of metadata. b. A framework for implementing repositories & integration frameworks (e.g., tool integration frameworks) that hold metadata (e.g., models) described by the metamodels and which uses standard technology mappings to transform MOF metamodels into metadata APIs.
