Alf (Action Language for Foundational UML) is essentially a textual notation for UML behaviors that can be attached to a UML model in any place where a UML behavior can be specified. Alf Input text serves as a concrete representation for UML model elements within the fUML, allowing for behavioral modeling using a textual surface notation. This facilitates a model-driven process capable of generating fully executable source code, thus integrating structural modeling with behavioral modeling12. Alf allows for detailed behavioral specification in a textual form as opposed to the more cumbersome graphical activity diagram notation, making it a practical tool for specifying the operational behavior of a system within the UML framework2.

The compiled model resulting from the Action Language for Foundational UML (fUML) must have the equivalent effect as a model resulting from the mapping to fUML. In other words, the compiled model should behave in the same way as if it were directly executed using the fUML execution semantics

In the MOF class hierarchy, the class ‘Element’ sits at the top. It is the superclass of all classes defined in MOF and is an implicit superclass of all metaclasses defined using MOF1. This superclass relationship to ‘Element’ does not need to be explicitly declared in the metamodels.

 In the context of the Meta-Object Facility (MOF), a metamodel is essentially a model that defines the structure and semantics of a modeling language. It is a set of constructs and rules that describe how models can be constructed for a particular domain or purpose. The MOF itself is an example of a metamodel because it provides the language for defining other metamodels, such as the UML metamodel1.
