The thesis contributes to Conceptual Modeling theory by introducing an evaluation method and a foundational ontology for general conceptual modeling languages. It proposes a systematic comparison of metamodels with reference ontologies, focusing on structural aspects.

The developed ontology is used to create methodological tools and demonstrates applicability in extending the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
