A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paige, R. F., Kolovos, D. S., & Polack, F. A. A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers

A metamodel has been defined as: a model of a model; a definition of a language; a description of abstract syntax; and a description of a domain. Because of these varied definitions, it is difficult to explain why metamodels are constructed, what can... Read More about A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers.
