Glossary

Terms used throughout this documentation:

${metaboss_home} This expression (in ant style) refers to the MetaBoss release installation directory. For example MetaBoss Ver1.3 installation directory on Windows might be c:\MetaBoss-1.3
METABOSS_HOME This expression refers to the only environment variable, which must be set when installing MetaBoss. It must point to the MetaBoss installation directory. For example MetaBoss Ver1.3 installation directory on Windows might be c:\MetaBoss-1.3 and this should be the value of METABOSS_HOME environment variable.
${metamodel_dir} This expression (in ant style) refers to the directory where enterprise model resides. Number of subdirectories with lots of xml files can be found under this directory. All of these files and directories together form metamodel, which practically all of MetaBoss tools use as a source of knowledge about enterprises, systems, domains etc. Some of MetaBoss tools not only read from the model, but also update its contents.
