The state-of-the-art in the area of modelling of organisations is based on fixed metamodels. This paper gives an introduction into metamodelling concepts and presents a generic architecture for metamodelling platforms. Three best practice examples from industry projects applying metamodelling concepts in the area of business process modelling for e-business, e-learning, and knowledge management are presented. Due to rapid changing business requirements the complexity in developing applications which deliver business solutions is continually growing. To manage this complexity, environments providing flexible metamodelling capabilities instead of fixed metamodels has shown to be helpful. The main characteristic of such environments is that the formalism of modelling -the metamodel -can be freely defined and therefore be adapted to the problem under consideration. Finally, an outlook to future developments and research directions in the area of metamodelling is given.
