A scalable repository based on a meta-modelling architecture

BiZZdesign is a company that develops tools for business processes and architecture modelling. With these tools customers handle models that conform to changeable meta-models. BiZZdesign currently supplies its customers with a repository that stores the models as atomic units. The meta-models can not be stored. Operational problems appear when models get too big. Moreover the repository can not interoperate with other tools. In this thesis we address the enhancement of this repository for: 1. Storing the meta-models to which the models conform; 2. Allow the connecting tools to be scalable with respect to the size of the models 3. Allowing it to interoperate with other tools than that of BiZZdesign
