Abstract
Standardization within a discipline often reflects its maturity. Within software engineering, standardization occurs in many areas — here we focus on a recent ISO standard that has been developed for a methodology metamodel: the Software Engineering Metamodel for Development Methodologies, ISO/IEC 24744. Since its publication as a pure metamodel (represented by several UML-style class diagrams) in February 2007, a follow-on project has been established to provide a complementary notation for all the methodological elements, both within the method domain and the endeavour domain. Here, we discuss not only the technical details but also the process by which standardization occurs.
