Abstract

In order to be able to work correctly with all the concepts handled in software process improvement it is useful to establish different abstraction levels that help to manage the complexity. Correct use of all the data and metadata (models and meta-models) handled in the different abstraction levels is necessary. This paper proposes a tool, based on MOF (Meta-Object Facility) conceptual architecture, for the management of these models and meta-models, that are stored in a repository in the form of XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) documents. This tool can be used as an integrated vertical component in other horizontal tools oriented to software process improvement and management. As example, we present its vertical integration with MANTIS, an environment for software maintenance management.
