I do not know SAS, but you should check to see if the concepts

in FAMIX are of use to you. If yes, you can directly instantiate

from your parser. If not, then you will want to code a new
meta-model,
or extend the current ones to accommodate your needs. You can then
describe this new meta-model using FM3 (this is achieved via
Smalltalk
pragmas) and you get a browser and import-export in the MSE format
for
free.
Once you have your Smalltalk objects as instances of the meta-model,
you can then use Mondrian and Glamour for building visual tools, or
the MooseAlgos to express graph-specific algorithms.
Does this help?
Well, I was hoping that I would need to specify the meta-model or
the
meta-meta-model, but not both. That is, I was hoping the tools could
build one out of the other. It sounds as if you're telling me I need to
do both.
I hope I'm misunderstanding :)
Also, is there a guide to what the pragmas are?
