Abstract
Recent efforts have been made to coalesce object-oriented methods and objec t-oriented modelling languages and, at the same time, to put them on a more rigorous footing by the use of metamodelling techniques. Two so-called thi rd-generation approaches, OPEN (a full methodology) and UML (a modelling la nguage) are described and compared here. These two approaches are compared by focusing on two main areas: (1)process and lifecycle support and, predom inantly, (2) metamodel and notation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig hts reserved.
