“…20). The difference in how that is accomplished is that in the powertype approach described here, two M2 classes are used which differentiate between the concept and the category (see also [8,14]) In contrast, both the element and the element kind are confounded when using the potency-based approach, although of course there is one less element in the overall architectural scheme.…”

Software development methodologies may be described in the context of an underpinning metamodel, but the precise mechanisms that permit them to be defined in terms of their metamodels are usually difficult to explain and do not cover all needs. For example, it is difficult to devise a way that allows the definition of properties of the elements that compose the methodology and, at the same time, of the entities (such as work products) created when the methodology is applied. This article introduces a new approach to constructing metamodels and deriving methodologies from them based on the concept of powertype. It combines key advantages of other metamodelling approaches and allows the seamless integration of process, modelling and documentational aspects of methodologies. With this approach, both methodology components and project entities can be described directly by the same metamodel.

“…In the Design Ontology [123] the content of a model is understood as a 'proposition', along with the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) [124], namely an abstract entity that lacks space-time location and is represented via a language. Similarly, in the literature about conceptual modeling, a product as a material object is distinguished from its corresponding product type, which refers to properties that the former has to satisfy [125,126]. 3 Following these approaches, I-features are (typically complex) properties used to define product types.…”

“…Popular approaches with support for multilevel (meta-)modeling are powertypes [16,5], deep instantiation [1], and materialization [17,3]. The instances of a powertype are subtypes of another object type, thereby providing metamodeling capabilities [16, p. 28].…”

Conceptual models organize the data as well as the processes from a business domain using a human-readable, yet formal representation language. For static data models, various modeling approaches have been proposed to represent complex multilevel abstraction hierarchies. For process models, though, current modeling approaches do not provide a flexible and powerful formalism for representing complex multilevel abstraction hierarchies. In this paper, we motivate the need for multilevel business process models, present our initial approach, and sketch future research in this area.
