Progress of research on metamodeling. Journal of Software, 2008,19(6):1317−1327. /1000-9825/19/1317.htm Abstract : With the popularity of UML (unified modeling language) and MDA (model driven architecture), models are becoming the core artifacts of software development and maintenance. As a result, modeling languages and meta-models which are used to define modeling languages, become more and more important. Software development may cover quite a few domains, and different domains may require different modeling languages and their supporting modeling tools. But it is very expensive to develop modeling tools manually for every domain. Metamodeling is one of the technologies to facilitate the design of domain modeling languages and the development of modeling tools. In the approach of metamodeling, people design domain mod
