- Types of users
- ==============
- For the Modelverse, we identify three types of users.
- It is possible for users to switch between these three different types over time.
- The remainder of this documentation is split up based on these three types of users: modellers, language engineers, and developers.
- Due to the design of the Modelverse, language engineers must also know all about modelling: languages are created through modelling.
- Similarly, developers must know about all knowledge of the modeller and language engineer, as they must implement operations for them.
- Nonetheless, there is still a different focus and different requirements for their domain knowledge.
- Modeller
- --------
- The majority of the users of the Modelverse will fall in the category of modellers.
- These users make use of the languages provided by other users, by instantiating them.
- While this is likely the biggest category of users, they will mostly be abstracted from the Modelverse wrapper by their MvI.
- For modellers, the documentation is focused on instantiating existing languages and modifying models or executing processes on specific models.
- Language Engineer
- -----------------
- Language engineers are the second category of users, who create language to be used by the modellers.
- Language engineering in the Modelverse is similar to modelling, as metamodels are models themselves.
- Developer
- ---------
- The final category of users is that of developer.
- Developers of the Modelverse will modify the internals of the Modelverse, but, as the Modelvers is explicitly modelled, this often takes the form of a modeller as well.
- Nonetheless, the various files are stored external to the Modelverse, and can be modified without the Modelverse.
- Similarly, some core languages are also included in the Modelverse, which requires developers to be familiar with language engineering.
