Abstract

Metamodeling is often identified as a key layer in the development of an information system because it formally defines the modeling primitives that will be used in subsequent modeling activities. We use the Conceptual Graph (CG) theory for illustration purposes. The simplicity of the CG notation and its flexibility to represent metalevel knowledge through the use of contexts makes it a serious contender for the representation of a metamodeling theory. Therefore, this paper presents a CG based metamodeling framework for the modeling of information systems.
