One of the main advantages of multi-level modeling environments over traditional modeling environments is that all ontological classification levels are treated in a uniform way and are all equally available for immediate, on-the-fly modification. However, such flexibility is a two-edged sword, since a minor change in a (meta-) ontological level can have a dramatic impact on other parts of the ontology (i.e. collection of ontological levels) - requiring a large number of "knock-on" changes to keep the overall ontology correct. To effectively exploit the modeling flexibility offered by multi-level modeling environments therefore, modelers need semi-automated support for emending ontologies to keep them consistent in the face of changes. In this paper we describe a model emendation architecture and illustrate how it can help modelers maintain the correctness of an ontology.
