Metamodel understanding - Application layer

Hi,

The way we've described it would be that the Application Family would be applications that are related but function independently. Whereas the composite is a combination of independent / disparate applications that are formed to provide a larger application.

e.g. MS Office might be through of an Application Family (Word, Excel, etc)
A Data warehouse implementation of an Oracle database, some ETL tooling might be a Composite.

Application Family is a Vendor view or suite of the Applications
Composite is your own Company "name" of the Application set

Just just my interpretation / usage anyway.

Yes, that's a great explanation Alex. I hope you won't mind the Essential Project team borrowing your analogy in the future :)

Thanks,

Jason
