Abstract

In this paper we propose a meta-modelling technique for helping in the construction of mappings which make feasible the interoperability demanded between different modelling techniques. A concrete method for conducting the construction of a mapping is presented. In order to facilitate the understanding of this method, we explain, as an example, the construction of a mapping from the Cooperative Objects Meta-Model to the Classes with Objectcharts Meta-Model.
