Meta-models and Generic models have been built in the area of Information Systems to facilitate the task of system designers. It de-emphasises the view under which applications are conceived in terms of real world data, operations, constraints and processes. We refer to methods that help in constructing such applications as ‘application-centric’ methods. We show here that a Generic Model can handle application-centric methods by identifying application objects and operations as well as process models.
