1. A method for adding user-defined objects to a modeling tool, comprising:
- providing a meta-meta model that includes at least a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects used to define meta data of a model of a selected domain;
allowing a user to create one or more instances of the plurality of objects, the one or more instances defining one or more concepts that describe the selected domain; and
allowing a user to associate the one or more instances to define one or more relationships among the one or more instances.
