| Some Entertaining Examples of How Domain-Specific Modelling Works |
|
Even if the concept of a meta model sounds academic, it is very common in daily life. We need meta models to map the real
world in our brains. They are the abstractions that we commonly call “experience”. Depending on our age, education, profession
and environment, these can be very different from one person to another. Who has not experienced the charming misunderstandings
arising from a conversion with a small child! Those misunderstandings appear in every interaction between human beings
but in more subtle ways. In the context of commercial project management they may lead to costly project overruns, in
the context of entertainment they are one of the richest sources of hearty laughter. Enjoy the entertaining side of meta-model mismatch. |
