Information Model (Model)Information Model Guidelines
This is a simple metamodel of UML-based information modeling to be used in MetaModelAgent. The metamodel defines modeling guidelines for basic information modeling.
The metamodel is developed by Adocus as a simple example of the metamodel notation to be used in MetaModelAgent. The metamodel make use of a UML-profile distributed as part of the MetaModelAgent software package.
For more information of the notation used in this metamodel, plase see the MetaModelAgent Metamodeling Manual distributed as part of the MetaModelAgent software package.

A short description of the kind of relationship the composition represents.
Owner Role (Association End)Part Role (Association End) Information Entity (Class)An Information Entity captures a concept in the real-world.
The name of an Information Entity should in one or a few words capture the concept rerpesented by by the entity.
The name should normally be a noun or compound none.

Association Role (Association End)
Represents the role an Information Entity plays in an association towards another Information Entity.
Information Attribute (Attribute)

Owner Role (Association End)
The Owner Role represents the role an Information Entity plays when its instances consist of instances of another Information Entity.
Part Role (Association End)
A Part Role represents the role an Information Entity plays when its instances is part of an instance of another entity.
Information Entity Inheritance (Generalization)
Captures the taxonomy between Information Entities.
An Information Entity inheriting another Information Entity means that that all attributes and relations are inherited.
