The language for representing a model is described by its meta-model. The concepts of a modeling language are described by elements such as classes, relationships, attributes and behavior. A model type describes a concrete Modeling language, e.g. a business modeling language. Linking and relating the model types, forms a set of interrelated modeling languages which describe a certain domain under consideration. [Kuhn et al., 2003] | |||
| Service Composition and
Coordination (KM-SC) |
Specifies the syntax of service
composition models and the semantics for executing their instances,
based on a number of constructs [CD-JRA-1.3.2]. Different modeling
languages can be used to define service compositions of the same type.
For instance, service orchestrations can be
specified using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) [OMG,
2011] and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) [OASIS,
2007], among others, while service choreographies can
be specified with Let’s Dance [Johannes-Maria et al. 2004] or
BPEL4Chor [Decker et al., 2007]. |

| Service Infrastructure (KM-SI) |

| Generic (domain independent) |
A modeling language is any artificial language that can be used to express information or knowledge or systems in a structure that is defined by a consistent set of rules. The rules are used for interpretation of the meaning of components in the structure [Wikipedia]. | ||||
