I do not know SAS, but you should check to see if the concepts present in FAMIX are of use to you. If yes, you can directly instantiate them 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.
Whoops: I think I meant model or meta-model.
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?
I meant the FM3 pragmas.
