to better investigate and verify the semantics of many
multi-level modeling concepts. Therefore, in our cur-
rent work, we have implemented the concepts of the
potency notion according to its original definition and
presented how the mapping thereof was encoded in
DMLA. The results are promising for a multi-level
modeling framework to support future research work
such as i) implementing more varieties and interpre-
tations of existing multi-level concepts, and ii) in-
troducing domain-specific languages to adopt level-
adjuvant concepts in DMLA.
