-Model Modification Interface
-============================
-
-Model operations are grouped into a separate category of operations, as they work at the model-level instead of the root-level.
-In the MvC, these operations can only be executed after a *model_modify* operation.
-We distinguish two modes of access: read/write, and read-only.
-Read-only commands are always available (given that the model itself can be opened in the MvC layer), whereas read/write operations are only optionally visible.
-
-Read-only
----------
-
-The first set of operations are the read-only operations.
-
-list
-^^^^
-
-Get a list of all elements in the model.
-Ignores hidden elements (*i.e.*, name starts with __), as these are artefacts of other operations.
-
-list_full
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Get a full list of all elements in the model.
-
-nice_list
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Get a pretty-printed list of alle elements in the model, including the value of their attributes.
-
-types
-^^^^^
-
-Get a list of all elements that can be instantiated in the metamodel.
-Ignores hidden elements of the metamodel.
-
-read
-^^^^
-
-Get detailed information on a specific element.
-
-verify
-^^^^^^
-
-Check if the model conforms to its resolved metamodel.
-
-exit
-^^^^
-
-Exit the model modification interface.
-
-Read/Write
-----------
-
-The second set of operations are the read/write operations, which are able to alter the model.
-Note that in the Modelverse, changes are immediately visible to other users as well.
-
-instantiate
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Instantiate an element of the metamodel.
-This only creates the raw element, without any of its slots filled in or any associations.
-Used for both nodes and edges (classes and associations).
-
-delete
-^^^^^^
-
-Delete an element of the model.
-For nodes (classes), all related associations are removed as well.
-
-attr_add
-^^^^^^^^
-
-Instantiate a new attribute for this element.
-
-attr_add_code
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Instantiate a new attribute for this element, using the code constructors for the value.
-
-attr_del
-^^^^^^^^
-
-Remove an attribute value of this element.
-
-attr_modify
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Modify an existing attribute of this element.
-
-retype
-^^^^^^
-
-Change the type of an element.
-
-upload
-^^^^^^
-
-Overwrite the current model with an uploaded model through the model constructors.

-Modelverse Core
-===============
-
-The Modelverse Core (MvC) is an example (meta-)modelling interface that can be used with a plethora of tools.
-While the MvC itself is rather simple and its interface is kind of hard to use, wrappers can be put in front of it to make the behaviour much friendlier.
-For example, a simple call to instantiate a specific class requires several XML/HTTPRequest calls back and forth.
-A simple wrapper can abstract from this complexity, while retaining the elegance of the versatile interface.
-
-The MvC at the moment is written for a simple textual interface, but can easily be augmented with additional information to make it more computer-readable.
-For example, requests and replies can make use of IDs to distinguish or identify the information being passed around, or perform context switches.
-
-The MvC manages the Modelverse information visible to all users.
-Since all information in the Modelverse is stored as a model, this user and model management information is stored as a model as well: the Core model.
-The core model is a mega-model that provides links to all other models stored in the Modelverse (including itself!).
-For each of these models, additional meta-information is stored within the Core model.
-Only admin users have read and write permission to the Core model by default: this model is used for all other operations.
-While some operations are allowed for other users, such as modifying the permissions of your own file, this write must be done with administrator permissions.
-Therefore, this MvC interface provides some specialized operations which check for the necessary permissions (*e.g.*, owner of the model), and then apply the requested operation with admin permissions.
-
-An overview of the MvC interface is shown below.
-A complete overview of the code is shown in the :download:`MvC core algorithm <../core/core_algorithm.alc>`
-None of these operations manipulate the model at a finer granularity: for that we use the :download:`Mini-Modify <../core/mini_modify.alc>` code, which is sometimes called.
-A detailed explanation of its operations is shown later.
-
-Model operations
-----------------
-
-The first set of operations are basic model management operations.
-
-model_add
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Adds a new model to the Modelverse.
-Model content is specified using model constructors, which can be generated with the model compiler.
-
-model_modify
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Switches the interface to model-scope operations of a specific model.
-
-model_list
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Give an overview list of all models, showing their name and type.
-
-model_list_full
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Give a detailed overview list of all models, showing their name, type, permissions, owner, and group.
-
-model_overwrite
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Overwrite an existing model. Similar to *model_add*, but keeps existing meta-information to the model intact.
-
-verify
-^^^^^^
-
-Verify whether a model conforms to the specified metamodels.
-
-Transformation-specific operations
-----------------------------------
-
-The second set of operations are specific to model transformations.
-
-transformation_add_MT_language
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Create a new RAMified metamodel out of several existing metamodels.
-The generated metamodel can be used to instantiate a model transformation.
-
-transformation_add_MT
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Add a new model transformation schedule, including the rules.
-
-transformation_add_AL
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Add a new action language model that operates on models.
-
-transformation_add_MANUAL
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
