Abstract

Although much has been analyzed regarding the relationships between models, metamodels, ontologies and modelling languages, without a mathematical underpinning, these analyses can be readily influenced by the imprecision of the natural language (usually English) used in their exposition. The introduction of simple set theory mathematical representations can aid researchers in understanding better the links between the various elements of the modelling scene and, especially in our context, how it all relates to modelling in software engineering.
