1958 L. B. Slobodkin in Ecology 34 550/2 It is possible to sort these models into categories, or into some orderly sequence on the basis of either quantitative or formal properties. Such a categorization of models will be called a meta-model.
1967 D. R. Stoddart in R. J. Chorley & P. Haggett Models in Geogr. 537 Slobodkin..has suggested that the categorization of the theoretical models on the basis of either quantitative or formal properties will be of greater heuristic value than the construction of..specific models: such categorization he terms a meta-model.
1977 Amer. Sociol. Rev. 42 479 Results lend support to a meta-model of growth in which the dynamic parameters of the process are the dependent variables.
1999 Current Anthropol. 40 478/1 Conventional models are by their nature internalized and thus integrated into an idiosyncratically unique mental metamodel.
