    Abstract: Computer method and apparatus collapse program metamodels to provide a collapsed, in syntax view of the subject metamodel. The invention method and apparatus obtain multiple programming model packages. Each said package is formed of a respective plurality of model elements from the subject metamodel. Next the invention combines (e.g., collapses) the multiple programming model packages together to form a resultant collapsed package.
