1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing system, relationships between objects in a meta model based, at least in part, on attributes included in the objects in the meta model, wherein the meta model is configured to describe an electronic system using the objects and the attributes, wherein the objects correspond to different portions of the electronic system, and wherein the attributes define characteristics of the objects for design data corresponding to the different portions of the electronic system to conform;
developing, by a computing system, a hierarchy of the objects based, at least in part, on the identified relationships between the objects in the meta model; and
generating, by the computing system, a graphical presentation of the meta model that includes the objects arranged in the graphical presentation based on the hierarchy of the objects, wherein the graphical presentation of the meta model includes connections between a plurality of the objects having common attributes based on the hierarchy of the objects.

Abstract
This application discloses a computing system implementing tools and mechanisms to generate a framework for a system-level design of an electronic system, wherein the system-level design includes multiple electronic designs from different electronic design automation tools. The tools and mechanisms can correlate design components in the electronic designs to different portions of the framework for the system-level design, and determine whether the electronic designs are congruent with the system-level design based, at least in part, on the correlation of the electronic designs to the different portions of the framework for the system-level design.

8. A system comprising:
-
a memory device configured to store machine-readable instructions; and a computing system including one or more processing devices, in response to executing the machine-readable instructions, configured to; identify relationships between objects in a meta model based, at least in part, on attributes included in the objects in the meta model, wherein the meta model is configured to describe an electronic system using the objects and the attributes, wherein the objects correspond to different portions of the electronic system, and wherein the attributes define characteristics of the objects for design data corresponding to the different portions of the electronic system to conform; develop a hierarchy of the objects based, at least in part, on the identified relationships between the objects in the meta model; and generate a graphical presentation of the meta model that includes the objects arranged in the graphical presentation based on the hierarchy of the objects, wherein the graphical presentation of the meta model includes connections between a plurality of the objects having common attributes based on the hierarchy of the objects. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An apparatus comprising at least one computer-readable memory device storing instructions configured to cause one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying relationships between objects in a meta model based, at least in part, on attributes included in the objects in the meta model, wherein the meta model is configured to describe an electronic system using the objects and the attributes, wherein the objects correspond to different portions of the electronic system, and wherein the attributes define characteristics of the objects for design data corresponding to the different portions of the electronic system to conform; developing a hierarchy of the objects based, at least in part, on the identified relationships between the objects in the meta model; and generating a graphical presentation of the meta model that includes the objects arranged in the graphical presentation based on the hierarchy of the objects, wherein the graphical presentation of the meta model includes connections between a plurality of the objects having common attributes based on the hierarchy of the objects. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
