[news.eclipse.stp] Re: Is there any Policy meta-model in STP?

Hi Oisin, apologies accepted.. ;-)
Sorry it took me so long to get back this time, as I thought this one wouldn't be answered.


Thanks for your answer. I will do some research this week on available generic metamodels for representing policies. If I come across something interesting (a standardization process ideally, anything meaningful there is no such thing) I'll get back and propose something.

Thanks again, and best regards,
                                                 Juan Pedro

Hi Juan,

I am taking a look at STP features, in particular the policy stuff, and suddenly began wondering if STP was using some sort of meta-model for policies in the same spirit as it uses the intermediate metamodel.

I've long considered that it would be a good idea to include such a metamodel in the intermediate metamodel - basically
to enhance it with policy-related entities. Then it would be a more complete thing. It's possible to represent policies given the existing structures in IM, but it's not as clear as have policy entities as first class model participants.


Short answer to your question is - we haven't gone much
distance down that road, above and beyond the basic internal models that are kept by the editors, but I think
it's fair to say we are open to ideas in this space.


Could you maybe give a little more detail, or examples
of what you had in mind?

 best regards
