Broad Line Recommendations to Design CAPE-ModE

Similarity to database management system (DBMS) The concept of database management systems can give us the clue of developing model management system that can manage the model elements within the model repository, which is similar to the database repository. 

Similarity to structured query language (SQL) In order to retrieve the model elements in a standard manner, model query language (MQL) is required. Such model query language can be used via user interface similar to SQL. 

Similarity to data manipulation language (DML) Similar to the DML, model need to be manipulated using a standard model manipulation language (MML), which will be used either within any programming language like C++, or directly within the modeling environment. 

Similarity to system tables Metamodel is the structure that defines the modeling language and used to define the model elements. This is similar to the system tables that define the database structure. 

Similarity to import/export facility To be able to exchange the model elements among different models in heterogeneous environment, import/export facility is required. Sueh facility will
