1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a computing system, a meta model having a plurality of objects with assigned attributes defining characteristics for a system-level design of an electronic system, wherein the meta-model includes one or more conditional action statements associated with the attributes;
correlating, by the computing system, electronic design data generated by a plurality of electronic design automation tools to the objects in the meta model;
comparing, by the computing system, a condition in at least one of the conditional action statements to the electronic design data correlated to the objects in the meta model; and
selectively performing, by the computing system, one or more actions defined in the conditional action statements based, at least in part, on the comparison of the condition to the electronic design data correlated data to the objects in the meta model.

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.
