ABSTRACT:
A system and method for processing meta-models defined in accordance with Meta Object Facility (MOF). A system is provided that includes: a version control system for checking meta-models in and out of a model repository; a system for merging two versions of a meta-model that are based on a common ancestor version and were worked on in parallel; and an alignment system for aligning the two versions and the common ancestor whenever a profile has been applied differently to any of the two versions and common ancestor version.
