Abstract

Multi-level modeling based on deep instantiation has attracted growing interest over the last few years as a better way of creating and organizing models capturing problem domains featuring more than one classification level. However, until recently the approach has lacked practical tool support. This work introduces Melanie, a new MultiLevel Modeling and Ontology Engineering Environment, that has been specifically developed to support multi-level modeling as well as other important new modeling use cases such as unified exploratory / constructive modeling, symbiotic domain-specific / general purpose languages and interactive (meta)modeling. This work briefly explains the motivations and goals behind Melanie and provides a short overview of its features and architecture.
