ab: Summary: Numerous systems, especially component-based systems, are based on
    a multi-phase development process where an ontological hierarchy is
    established. Solutions based on modeling/metamodeling can be used for
    such systems, but all of them are afflicted with different drawbacks.
    The main problem is that elements representing both CLAsses and oBJECTs
    (clabjects), which are needed to specify an ontological hierarchy, are
    not supported by standard metamodeling frameworks. This paper presents
    the combination of two approaches, namely deep instantiation and
    model-to-metamodel transformations. The resulting approach combines the
    clean and compact specification of deep instantiation with the easy
    applicability of model-to-metamodel transformations in an automated
    way. Along with this a set of generic operators to specify these
    transformations is identified.
