Abstract
In order to analyse the effect of modelling assumptions in a formal, r igorous way, a syntax of modelling assumptions has been defined. The s yntax of modelling assumptions enables us to represent modelling assum ptions as transformations acting on the set of model equations. The no tion of syntactical correctness and semantical consistency of sets of modelling assumptions is defined and methods for checking them are des cribed. It is shown on a simple example how different modelling assump tions act on the model equations and their effect on the differential index of the resulted model is also indicated.
