Sure, 3 levels of metadata refers to the different
tiers of metadata. The OMG provides a better
discussion in
http://www.omg.org/docs/formal/00-04-03.pdf (pages 2-2

The following document illustrates 3 different design
patterns that illustrate my
thinking.http://www.geocities.com/jbarnesweb/fsmsurvey.pdf
I favor the Fowler pattern illustrated last. The
InputSymbolType maps to the first class TokenType I
